This is a mind bending image. The beauty of the beach and the homes of homeless. Why do I think they are happier than most? Fav. Great documentary shot and worthy of far more favs. Wish I could fav again.
Fantastic shot. I look at the two women and wonder how it must feel to wake up right next to the ocean living out in the open; free and completely untethered, no cars, shopping malls, TVs, banks. Absorbing and thought-provoking image, it really makes you think.
Looking at those green baskets - they’re probably used to collect mussels and the like, it looks as if the women are sorting through some sort of mussel-shaped seafood. Those tyre rims fascinate me. Such a hugely interesting capture!
An excellent reportage shot. I cannot imagine living in these conditions, but I realise that we shouldn’t foister our expectations onto others. They may actually live like this through choice.
Eco-friendly too! While we may look at this scene and think they are deprived, they may not see it that way. They may be more satisfied with life than those driven by acquisition ever could be. And one time I passed a similar scene and thought "how sad" until a gentleman stepped outside with a cell phone! We should always hope for better for our fellow humans but sometimes our definition of better is not the same as theirs. Great shot!
Wow, what an interesting photo location. I always think about how so many people live in such a different world than me and I really have a lot to be thankful for - great photo btw
