Description According to *turtlespooon who I was out shooting with, this was his second or third birthday in a very short time, but when you're dealing with the heart-strings of tourists, I guess anything works.


Happy Birthday

I actually just saw another picture this morning that said 52nd...so maybe it was an older shot and it is in fact just his age haha

I really like the angle you shot from. Seeing people's legs as they walk by - it really adds a punch to what this photo says to me. How often do we just walk by when someone might need help - not just homeless people but in other people who need help in other ways.
The best photos I have ever seen are ones that make you stop and think. The shots that make you evaluate yourself or the world around you. The ones which keep creeping back into your mind at random times and cause you to want to change.
This is one of those shots.
Really powerful work mate.
