Artist's Comments

just a reflection
just a glimpse
just a little reminder
of all the what abouts
and all the might have
could have beens
another day
some other way

This photo was taken during my recent vacation in London. And I was waiting for a good moment to release it publicly.

These times a lot of people need more help then ever. Winter is here, cold and dark.
The season to be merry, but let us not forget about the people who need it the most.
So go out on the street, if you have a blanket to spare, take it along and help a person out.
If you can spare the extra 5 cents, then share it with people who really need it.

STRONG! it is so sad reality to photograph and yet we can't avoid it. :(

The image really tells the story of this poor homeless.


I would recommand though on lowering the image size to 800 pixels (width) so it would fit on all screens. I had to scroll a bit to view the entire image.

Great shot, I love the way how you can't see his face, it looks almost as if there's a black hole there! :clap:

the visual part of your work is well done, i like the contrasts and the composition in general. it's very important that you can't see his face because for me this symbolizes that this person could be everyone. so the picture doesn't show just the fate of an individual but the fate of a big group.
in addition i appreciate you intention.

Alice came to a fork in the road...
"Which road do I take?"she asked.
"Where do you want to go?"responded the Cheshire cat.
"I don't know,"Alice answered.
Then said the cat,"it doesn't matter"

I've always held a special place for nicely done homeless shots. I like the contrast you've added here, really helps the atmosphere.
