We hope those who are less fortunate are helped in the best possible ways. Nice capture of the solemn photo; it's scenes like this that reminds us that we should give thanks for what we have and not what we want to have. Btw, no photo of you yet in "about me" section. Happy Thankgiving Day! Sad, but homelessness - that temporary condition that can befall anyone is a fact of life in most cities and towns.

Society does not function well when there are great disparities in the population. I have come to the decision that personally I will acknowledge the homeless but I will not give them money. I do however give to charities which support the homeless ... On the subject of photographing the homeless I am really torn. Awareness is important and photos put a face on the problem. But in my case I have chosen to share photos of the charities which support the homeless. Poverty is a difficult subject and one I struggle with.

The fact that this person seems to be lying right across the pavement makes you wonder about him: Is he all right? Did he faint as he was walking? On the general subject of showing the 'ugly' side of our cities, the answer is YES we should show it. It's part of life and it raises the global issue of a poverty around the world.
