Great shot Sam. It sums up the way our society works doesn't it.... People will ignore this guy and pretend he isn't there, one of the new invisibles of society. But if someone else draws attention to him and 'shock, horror' takes his photograph to publicise this mans plight they all stare, glower, etc disapprovingly. I could understand if the man were a criminal or something and ths was a regular form of punishment but when misfortune hits a person and no one will help, and there is someone there trying to raise the consciousness of the population to this and the population tut and shake their heads at you then that is a sad thing... sadder even than the man they try so hard to ignore... What has happened to humanity???
Great shot, and beautifully composed and exposed. And I'm glad you gave him a dollar... (unlike the self righteous a55hole5 who tutted and walked past). Great piece of social commentary... (and now I'll get down off my soapbox).

Thanks for the good words! I gave him a dollar after i shot this photo too, poor guy. When i was shooting this, people were actually getting pissed at me. I was putting away my camera and a lady shook her head and gave me the worst look ever. I guess they thought i was exploiting him or something... shallow people!
