The Big Issue by rosiekind

The Big Issue

It's a shame that this chap looks so unhappy because if he smiled a bit more he might sell more of his magazines.
He looks a bit like Jeremy Corbyn! Nice study of him though.

He needs to smile like the bloke on the magazine cover! Did you ask him first?

Super portrait capture and agree with your comment.

@creampuff I thought I saw a resemblance but couldn't think who it was!

@busylady No I didn't ask him - he might have bitten my head off!

Weren't you scared being so close?! He's looking right at you...! Fabulous portrait.
January 16th, 2016  
Smiling and not, very good double portrait.

HE IS PROBABLY SO COLD STANDING THERE TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING ,,I FEEL FOR HIM POOR CHAP.

He looks very cold. Maybe he hasn't had many sales which is why he looks a bit glum. I believe The Big Issue is sold by homeless, marginalised and disadvantaged people. They buy the magazine for $3.50 and sell it for $7 and they can keep the difference. I hope you bought a copy.

Mmm that expression is quite hard to read but I'm sure cold had something to do with it.

He does look a little down in the mouth.

Definitely looks like he's cold, so that might have something to do with his mood. Great shot.

shame, he looks so cold

He does look cold poor chap. Hope he doesn't have to sleep on the street.

He does look better equipped than most Big Issue sellers you see, its such a tough time for the homeless hope he found somewhere to warm up, great street capture Rosie:)

I would have talked to him. He could well be cold and lonely could give you his story to go with the pic. If people are living on the street or in a hostel it is hard to get a job and back into main stream life. Good for him for sticking at selling the magazines.

@rosiekind Well at least he's looking right at you!
January 17th, 2016  
Not to me!
January 17th, 2016  
Probably wishing he was elsewhere and not out in the cold
January 17th, 2016  
Certainly captured the moment.
