Always been uncomfortable shooting public. But sometimes it grabs me to take a shot from time to time.

Some consider those kind of shots opportunist. But for me it is my history. Being a recovering alcoholic with 9 years of sobriety and living on the streets myself. Sometimes I am drawn to capture the misery of my past.

Sometimes it is a special feeling moment.

But still way to self conscious to do it on a regular type shooting. As have a high regard for people's privacy even when in public.

Thanks for comments on my images. And yep I took a look at your blog and keep up the great works. As these kind of social issues need to be recorded and to get people interested in helping the less fortunate. Many have mental conditions that society has decided not to fund for their welfare and well-being but dumps many on the streets. And I can assure you it costs much more having public,police and emergency services deal with them in public. Then what a more strict type group home where they could get their needs met.

Nicely Done!... Captures that Street Feel to them.
 
Hi folks. Well, I went out for a labor day street crawl on Monday and by that I mean a crawl. It is hard to walk very far and or fast with a knee brace, but I managed...Anyway, I have seen many strange things over the years, but this has to be in the top 5. This was the most bizarre deal. First I was in one of the Ghetto parts of Hollywood. I saw this fellow sitting at the bus stop so I proceeded to cross the street and took this snap. When he saw me take the snap, he got up and started to walk away, so I took another quick one while still walking in the street as he was walking away. Normally I am not a chimper, but this was strange to me as I thought there where two people. When I looked and saw that it was one. What was more creepy, is that it looked just like the fellow with the legs, I had to try and get a third pic. So here I am peg leg and all chasing him to tray and get a close up when he saw me and started to cuss me out in a strange language...I thought he was going to attack me, so I started to get ready, but he backed off and walked away.
