King George Street -Jerusalem 2007

Downtown Jerusalem, Israel -2007

please citique

Downtown ANYWHERE. The weight of the world, the sense of loss and desperation. What a universal statement.

I'm always conflicted when I see these kinds of scenes, in person or in pictures. This man has had choices, and he's obviously made some bad ones. But life can be hard, and in some ways we are all frail. I haven't walked in his shoes. I know nothing of what got him here.

 

A powerful, thought provoking photo, well taken.

I have seen him lying in the street hardly knowing who he is and certainly not where he is. But he is not a "bum". Notice he is dressed nicely.
