The men on the bench photos popped up as I was exiting.
Strong images, and gentle as well. And the last on looks like despair.

It’s so sad to think that there are a lot of homeless people all around the globe.

How sad to see so many without homes to go to. Do they stick around the same area? The homeless here seem to have territories if that makes sense.

For some reason, the line “Aww, they’re such angels when they’re asleep”, usually applied to one’s children, sprang to mind when I saw these photos. You have a knack for compassionate shots.

It’s the same here in San Fran, but more visible because the city is only 700K people; 4% are black and the majority of the homeless out here.

Very disturbing…

You have problems bro. You have what’s called homlesspersonemia or bumpixosis. One day you’re going to get a random email from one of them asking you for royalties lol.

I see this all to much and for many it’s their only place of comfort. But I suspect some of these guys are waiting to be picked up.

So much said in these photos. How often we forget there are people for whom life is vastly different. What a poignant reminder.
