This fellow (the same one standing over his friend in the previous shot) noticed that I was taking photos - and said came up to me with the comment
"I'm homeless and a loser."
He was a bit belligerent until I replied "You may be homeless but you are not a loser. God don't make any losers!"
He then changed his attitude, became friendly, and asked me to take his photo - so this definitely qualifies as a street candid that Dawn @dawn asked for me to do in the get pushed challenge.
Ooh Wendy he looks a little scary. You were very brave & a wise answer indeed. I suppose it could happen to anyone…. There but for the grace of God go I!

I did not consider him dangerous at all. His situation is sad, and although he has no home, he was actually willing to share what he had.
He was friendly, and quite respectful and charming. And he was pleased that I was willing to just talk to him. No foul language at all ...
Here is one street candid for you, Dawn. You are so right - I do not do many street candids - I am a bit too shy to do them!

For your get pushed challenge, how about a reflection or shadow photo?
