lichfield city City life

Ken,...Sad scene too often encountered in our large cities:poverty is also very present in our rural areas,but it is not revealed in the same mannerYour use of B/W was the right choice in this excellent reality shot.Salutations-Laurent

Laurent, thank you for your excellent comment, yes a sad image of reality. Best regards Ken.

A very good PJ shot, Ken. Interestingly, the sneakers are pointing away from the homeless person. It tells a very good story of avoidance of those much less fortunate

A slice of life shot, albeit a sad one. It goes on all over the world. Great image Ken, well captured...........BR, Holger

Ken & Holger, many thanks for your visits and kind comments. Best regards Ken.

Sad life.

Saad, thank you for looking and commenting. Best regards Ken.

Ken, both of your recent photos of homeless people are of very high caliber. You wisely chose to present them in b&w. This one, to me, is slightly more powerful than the other. FYI, my wife and I both volunteer at a local homeless facility, but every time I see a homeless person on the street I feel guilty that we don't do enough. Sadly, our respective countries can do better - much better, to understand the various causes of homelessness and to act accordingly. This image would have a slightly happier mood if it included another person placing some money in the container in front of the homeless person. The other image displays an act of compassion of one person toward another; this one displays no such thing. - - My best, michael

Michael, thank you for your visit and comments. The homeless problem does seem to be increasing and as you say to understand the reasons why should be given more priority, sadly it's not a perfect world. Best regards Ken.

sad and the way the people in the background appear to be ignoring everything.. their backs turned away! important issued that need to be addressed and documented

Stephanie, thank you for your comment. A sad photograph of a sad ongoing problem difficult and complex to resolve. Best regards Ken.
