Description I was in town meeting some friends; I was walking down a passage way which is between the Radcliff Camera and the City Centre. Half way down the passage way and man sat asleep with his back leaning against one of the college's, it was a great shot but I was in a rush to meet my girlfriend and my camera was in my bag but I decided to make my way back there after I had down things in town. I made my way back to find him awake; I took some shots from a distance at first not sure how he would feel about me taking pictures of him. I then made my way over to him and we started chatting, talking about the book he was reading about research into Homelessness, the effects of learning disabilities and his view on the Shelters in Oxford. Bob was born outside of Oxford and has been living on the streets of England since 1972; he is now waiting for a place outside of Oxford and wants to put his mind towards helping those in the position of himself. Bob was happy for me to take these pictures of him and placing them on here. We talk for about half an hour and then he made his way into town, Bob was great to talk to and gave me a lot to think about and i'm hoping to me him again some time in the future.

Nice shots! really! And what woke my mind, was the text FUCK on the wall 'Cause I just saw this flashfile where they said that artists make all sort of 'hidden messages' that a normal viewer wont see when browsing quite fast, but sitll, in their unconsiounes ( damn spelling ) they remember the picture, and perhaps the brand the photos were marketing, more vividly. exactly words like 'Fuck, sex, kill' and such. Or third legs, naked pictures and so on.

So, if you just look at this photo, you'll see just Bob, and a street. But sitll, in your head, you kinda read the word 'Fuck', and are more likely to remember this photo. Coinsidence or not, but a great photo!
