Description
This man, i have seen more than a few times, holding his hat out on the corner where andre usually sings.He's fighting demons, and i say that metaphorically, but to him, they may be just as real as i was to him.
However, when i gave him my lunch, this smile crossed his lips, and i asked if i could shoot him.
He obliged. I would have given it to him either way.
Ive been sitting on this image for a while. Toned it, burned a little, left it as mostly as it.
Wow.... This was always my most favorited deviation, but i didnt really expect a DD!
Thanks so much to `rhapsouldize and `Staged !

No unfortunetally. But it was a picture of my uncle. He's a very well known lawyer in Manheim. Not sure what his Surname is :S
Still, this is an amazing shot! truly inspirational.

Love this picture, there are so many photogenic down and outs in my area, now I've got a zoomier lens I'll probably be less scared to photograph them haha

You dont want a zoomier lens, trust me.. its not the same.
get over the fear of confrontation, and talk to them.
they arent all bad, infact the bad ones are one in a hundred

Thank you for that comment.
I agree, a country should not be able to claim it has good economy as long as there are people on the streets.

It would be prudent to have a link supplied in the video to somewhere that viewers can find out where the images are from. I would suggest in the future, collection permissions via email from the 'articipants' of montages such as yours.
For instance, if your video collects 10,000,000 views, I would be appreciated if even 1% of those viewers visited the image here, on my page.
I have reported the video as a copyright Violation, but will withdraw my report if you can add a link to a page which credits everyone in the video, with links to their work.
Thank you.

dear Scott,
i have given you credit along with the other artists in the video,
if you click on "more" on "About this video", you will find a list with all the links to the artist works.
i ask you kindly to withdraw your report as i make no profit from this post, i just do it for art..like all of us i suppose..
if you are still not satisfied with the list i have already up. pls let me know and i will withdraw your image from the video.
sorry for the inconvenience,
peace
Vago

Aw...you gave him a smile wrinkle around his eye...he needed that! I love the sad happiness you see in his face. And his hero is in his eyes...that was very thoughtful of you to give him a much needed meal I'm sure! Your heart goes out to the millions that are suffering the same as him...but not enough really stop to give them food. (or..for some..the money for whiskey they beg for, eh?) Lovely picture. It's absolutely amazing! I love your street shots! They're the ones that interest me the most! You do so good! And I like how most are in black and white. Why is it black and white pictures seem to reach out and grab your attention most? Anyways, keep up the great work with your photography! I really like it!

Some people beg for money for booze because it warms them up, and helps them forget their troubles

your very welcome!
And I don't blame them...I think i'd beg for the booze too...i'd be a happy drunk...i never really thought about the warmth part..true though.

I love the contrast in this image it strengthens the emotions that it evokes. He is nameless he is all of us.
Yes, the lighting is essential.
Great image.
