Lounge Man

I generally don't like this kind of PS manipulation because of the spottiness it produces. but because of the broad areas of geometric blocks and that great striped shirt this actually works pretty well. If you could figure out a way to remove or lessen the spottiness of his face this would be a real winner.

... sic transit vita... Hi

Thank you Bruegel

Jack, thanks for the critique. Just before I posted this I wondered about the spots. Good call

 

Some "Socrates" of modern times! I like the body language and the composition. Nice capture!

A very nice and original result, Tony!

 

Lounge Man, he doesn't have a job, he aint got a home, he lives on

the streets and panhandles to get through his day.

 

On mornings such as today, I think about Lounge Man, you see it is

-2 and the wind chill is 25 below.

 

Good luck Lounge Man, good luck

A gritty study of life on the streets - the beggars bowl in the background and the day's haul in Lounge Man's hand.  Perhaps he can eat today.

"There but for the grace of god go I"  are the words I mutter to myself when I see a sight like this. I always wonder what stories these people have to tell, sometimes I stop and ask, and sometimes I am able to sit and listen. It is surprising how many short steps we all are from this. Loss of a job, a wife, a family.  We all have the potential to here. 

Raw gritty and thought provoking material! 

 

Compliments!

This does work well it does... I like it!
