Down And Out In London by rich57

Down And Out In London

Literally stumbled across this guy near Blackfriars Bridge when down in London last week. Felt a bit uneasy taking the shot, checked he was breathing first.
Very dramatic, nice composition

Wow! I was going to ask if he was alive. It's no way to live and at the moment he's making that very clear.

what's going on? Robin's doing bench shots, and you're doing homeless drunk shots... Great (albeit sad) capture Rich. btw, that will be me tomorrow :)

Did a similar shot about a week ago at our local beach. You're right when you say you have to see if they are alive, but it is great commentary about our society. I like it a lot.

Whoa! Very great shot.

Ohh Goshh.. this is actuayl really sad. and I totally agree with @jeffg What´s going on???lol Great shot..Very shocking!
September 30th, 2011  
Oh that's so sad. What a terrible way to be living! Gritty shot

hardcore. great shot.
September 30th, 2011  
Wow he is laid out passed out!

Photos like this shine a hard light on the reality of life for some folks. He's someone's son, maybe someone's husband, father ,brother. There but for grace......Prayers for all of those living like this out there in the world that they find a better life.

Wow! that doesn't even look comfortable! Crazy!
September 30th, 2011  
Nice. I hope you at least slipped some change into his hand.
September 30th, 2011

I remember you showing this one we met. Very sad state of affairs, but I'm sure he's been up and about this weekend enjoying the sun
