Description
just a reflectionjust a glimpse
just a little reminder
of all the what abouts
and all the might have
could have beens
another day
some other way
This photo was taken during my recent vacation in London. And I was waiting for a good moment to release it publicly.
These times a lot of people need more help then ever. Winter is here, cold and dark.
The season to be merry, but let us not forget about the people who need it the most.
So go out on the street, if you have a blanket to spare, take it along and help a person out.
If you can spare the extra 5 cents, then share it with people who really need it.

I used your photo in a photomanipulation, the original showed the emo i was looking for in a picture after i saw my first crack heads today and realized that the world isn't the sunshine and rainbows i was brought up in. Anyways figured I'll let you know of my deviation

giving money isn't always the right solution, that's why people should help more in other things
but sometimes it backfires, I remember once going once and bought a sandwiche and offered it to them and they didn't want it
so I ate it myself, if he would've accepted it I would've probably added a little cash too.

Hey Luc...
I have seen this scene before...sadly
Outside Sarah's appartment in Manila, little children do their 'have-to's' on the pavement, people sleep in cardboard boxes, and food is prepared over open fire...right there on the pavement...
Here in Copenhagen, it's freezing, snow is falling, and Christmas is so, so important...to most.
Homeless people are not concidered important. Not even by the homeless....

It's sad to see.
Every one was posting these happy happy christmas photos so I wanted to show the other side of the coin.
Not every one is fortunate to celebrate christmas the way they want.

I've always held a special place for nicely done homeless shots. I like the contrast you've added here, really helps the atmosphere.

Thanks a lot.
The face not showing helps to the aspect of pointing toward homeless people in general, not just one person.

Not everything about christmas is joy and laughter. Some people are left there out in the cold.

i feel sometimes that those holidays are there to think of others that can not celebrate them

sadly it's the trueth.
Hope it made some people realise how fortunate they are and tried something to help the homeless.

the visual part of your work is well done, i like the contrasts and the composition in general. it's very important that you can't see his face because for me this symbolizes that this person could be everyone. so the picture doesn't show just the fate of an individual but the fate of a big group.
in addition i appreciate you intention.

Thank you very much.
The idea for the face not showing is exactly how you said. It gives the general look towards all homeless, not a single person.

Great shot, I love the way how you can't see his face, it looks almost as if there's a black hole there!

It's to create the general feeling that it isn't about just a single person, but towards all homeless people.

STRONG! it is so sad reality to photograph and yet we can't avoid it.
The image really tells the story of this poor homeless.
I would recommand though on lowering the image size to 800 pixels (width) so it would fit on all screens. I had to scroll a bit to view the entire image.
