Photographer's Note
Sin city... Dirty city... Smelly city… Offending city...
……………………………
Don't ask me the names of the streets in my city...
Ask me the names of the people I share my city with..

Czekałam na niego. Na to spojrzenie de profundis...
Znalazłam go w jeszcze dolniejszym dolnym narożu niż poprzednio. Bardziej de profundis chyba już się nie da.
Przejmujące spotkanie.
Serdecznie T.

witam George,
ladny kadr....you went down to the bottom...to the street level to share their POV from below.
black and white is the best choice to have our eyes concentrated in the sad expression of the character.

I remember your previous version of this guy. I have to say that I hesitate a lot between this version and the previous one you had posted (that has "disappeared" in the Jonas IB database...). What I like here is how you are even more at the same level of him. Looking straight into his eyes. I also like how his face is coming through the dark. And the light in his eyes...
The first time, I wrote about the fact that I thought it was very tricky to take a good photo of "homeless" people. I won't repeat what I wrote there this time, even though I still think that way. [Feeling a bit lazy tonight!]

Bonjour George,
Une image très forte. Ton cadrage est superbe, avec le visage de l'homme en bas et son regard qui nous interpelle, et la ville qui se devine derrière. Le titre est super bien choisi aussi. Magnifique, bravo!

Hi George,
Please my friend, I'm getting confused... and sad. I see this picture posted 4 days ago...with 16 points..... ONLY!
And then I see the most absolute trash, not only here but also on TL, guys receiving like 70-80 points per picture, no matter what they post, how they post.....
And this beauty, this masterly processed photograph, telling a story to every one of us, opening unbelievable horizons in the field of photography, a picture that really gets to you, deep inside.... 16 miserable points....
Well... don't know what to say anymore....

Hey George,
Very emotive note of your picture...
Strong looking of this man between distress and sadness.... to be in this world for what? to sleep in the street minus 4 deg. while other kinds of people considers and looks after their pets more than living human conditions...
Hard world!
Thanks George for your humanity shot!!!
Regards,
Raphael
