Good Samaritan on Venice Beach Boardwalk

[Brian Moore]

I don't think I have posted this pic before. Sorry if I have. This one I took some weeks ago on a rainy day in Venice, California. I shot it from the hip, and when I developed it I saw that I had shot it at an angle. That is why I believe I never posted it. This is a straightened version.

I used my Yashica Electro 35 GSN and Arista Premium 400 film, which I pushed to 800. (Arista Premium is rebranded Tri-X.)

Every picture tells a story, they say, and some more than others. You could write a short story, or even an entire novel, based on this scene. Well spotted!

Thanks a lot, Rob. I often wonder what happens in someone's life to get them to the type of place you see there. Anyway, thanks again, Rob!

I can't really say any more than Rob. Stunning image and more than just another down and out on the street shot. There is compassion here and it shows

Thanks very much, Lesley. I had a feeling you would like this one.

Super shot Brian and well worth straightening (I can only imagine the pain). And I too often wonder how this happens and I suspect it is simpler than one can imagine.

yes, Pete. It was painful! Thanks for the comments, Pete.
