Description This is the same man as in the previous shot. This is my favourite of the four.

I got the chance to talk to this man for a very small while (my choir director was far away ) I also gave him a little bit of money. He was really kind. When I asked if I could take his picture, he was really enthusiastic about it, and he acted really natural, which was perfect.

Oddly . . . .

After seeing several of the other shots u took. Being homless is no balpark, just to think of it. Sitting out there in the open all day & holding out the sign indicated something?

I too seen a several in Chicago when visiting my dad last aug, as had them moved out of states to be closer since passing of mom few years ago.

Have 2 of the photos also, did give him couple bucks. Never had a chance to talk to this unfortunate.

Very emotive and well done.

This reminds me of the photographs of Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassidy when they were "On The Road" and Woody Guthrie on his Union Rallies. This could sit next to those images in true American folk history.
