Down on his luck I would say. Brings is all home with it being in black and white.

[Jeni]

Such an emotional shot - literally brought a lump to my throat!

[Jennifer Potter]

This provoked such a strong emotion in me. I have to give the guy huge credit for trying to earn his money. Loved the B&W conversion. Very moody and fitting.

[Brian Baptie]

Great shot. Wish I was there to get a shoe shine!!

[karenann]

Perfect scene for b&w . . but so doggone sad. This photo really evokes emotion, and that's the purpose of a good photograph, isn't it.

This set of black and whites is just wonderful, Peter, and this image in particular is really quite good. Composition, subject, you name it. Your TLR shots make me want to work harder on mine. :)

[Peter de Graaff]

[Alison Tomlin]

Great story telling photo. Hope his luck improves

[Jennifer Wearing]

very real Peter. We often focus on the beautiful and positive and forget that there's plenty of need just outside our door.

[Paula]

A picture that speaks to your heart. Great capture!

[Dave Schofield]

Tough times, great shot.
