Generally uncomfortable doing recognizable people in trouble. But this one moved me to capture his plight.

More comfortable capturing undefinable individuals that can convey the same message.

orb9220 - All of those are amazing photos, I think some of the best i have seen on this site. Not many of the photos I have seen really make me feel anything but these did. Thank you for sharing these.

 

[Fleacz]

wow these are amazing, i mean you can really feel the theme of the photo.

Wow...captured and conveyed the feeling perfectly. Excellent pictures.

These photos are great. They look like some you would see in Time magazine or even a book of the U.S.'s poverty. Great job!

Thanks all for the comments and support.
And yep feel compelled to capture images of that nature.
But wish to try and maintain the anonymity of the individual.
Except for the first one which I was just starting out with a D40
and no thought about violating an individuals privacy.
But did approach him and asked and shared the few bucks I had on me.
But now try to capture the feeling without a specific identity accept in a general sense.

^ don't let that pant-sagger fool you, it's really just two midgets hiding under all those clothing :lmao:

Inside Sacramento's now gone Tent City. Did a big story/photo essay on these people. A very moving experience.

 

[NayLoMo6C]

^ were the people there full-time hobos or just unfortunate people whom lost their jobs/evicted from their homes?
