Grit

Saw this gentleman yesterday towing this small washing machine with his bike in the older section of Flag. He mentioned being homeless but would like to set up washing stations for his fellow housing challenged friends. This washing machines would be peddle driven. I was intrigued by the idea.
I used a ink sketch filter for this shot.

A humbling image. Thanks for sharing this narrative, too..

@jeffinvt Thank you, he was one of the most engaging people that I met yesterday.

So well presented, but, as Jeff noted, humbling to realize the challenges he's facing.

[Graeme Stevens]

excellent shot and, in order to reduce the time that I spend typing, what Jeff said.

@graemestevens Thank you, for the most part, most people have a story, some more interesting than others.

[Chris Johnson]

That's a great idea for washing stations and kind of him to help others. Great shot!

An interesting insight into life in America that we rarely hear about in the UK. I like the filter treatment which give a gritty feel to a challenging subject.

What a humble idea that even with his own challenges that he is thinking about others

@cjphoto Felt lucky just to meet him.

@paulmann He was in need of his machine so the ink sketch seemed to fit.

@deborah63 @nanderson @pdulis Thank you his idea does have merit.

people are going to have to be resourceful! good on him

[Walks @ 7]

@kali66 I hope that this idea begins to take shape. It was a pleasure to talk with him.

[Jay Butterfield]

Nice ink sketch. Sometimes processing overwhelms the picture but this is a nice balance.

@jaybutterfield Thank you - I've seen this guy around town but no washing machine in tow. I am going to see if he will pose again sometime.
