Homeless in the USA

Work done on recent trip to the USA, thanks for looking.

Very powerful! It amazes me that in such a supposedly rich nation, we have so many homeless. Maybe we're not so rich after all.

Totally not my favorite because it hurts. So, it is doing its job. Great, sad image.

Powerful and too true. Regards...

nice idea,

 

but if you do know nothing about the social system in the usa, you actually would think thats just some homless guy and a flag in the background.

 

my idea would be to add some more social-contrast, some additional information, to set things straight.

 

i know, i argument like everyone was poorly educated, but i just think that this would be necessary to make it more of a statement than "just" an image :)

 

cheers

oh, I am so shocked here!!!! and nobody cares :( It is incredible how a human being is not helping another human being!!! Thesedays this planet Earth is dying with its humans and animals! and in some year, all the homeless will die from starvation!!! and even Africa!

 

I am ashamed to be a Human being :(

 

I am with all my heart and soul with you dear Birte :)

 

Thank you ;)

Again..we must be playing the same station. great piece...great colors...nice details. Please stop by my AMERICAN DREAM folder if you have time in between your missions. I would love to hear your feedback http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=434308

Thank you Birte. For your powerful words...your inspiring images...your passion and compassion for all the vulnerable populations and for stopping by to hear my voice too. When I first read about your frogs...I felt hope. I hope that they are flourishing.

Great, in one shot you tell a long life story ciao anto

The U.S. has ignored the homeless for too long; now, however, with the housing crisis, the bailouts of Wall Street and banks and a worsening situation, we can only look forward to more scenes like this. No relief for the downtrodden, many of whom are veterans who fought for this country.

I met many veterans while travelling around the USA in situations like this,its an appaling state of affairs and does not say much for that country itself.Perhaps its time for its people to say no.

Thank you for reminding those of us who are more fortunate.

I am personally offended by this photo.   I do not deny the homeless issue, but it is not uniquely American.  Birte, perhaps you should point your camera inward at your home country first!
