Shanty Singer

I have a personal rule that I don't photograph homeless people other than in exceptional circumstances.
This was one of those times.

I was going to be standing across the street from this gent, so I approached him to let him know that I wasn't there to photograph him. He insisted that I take his photo while he sang.

You have captured him perfectly, what a brilliant image.
It asks many questions, starting with who and why?

 

[Chris Bennett]

Thank you Dave.

 

[Pete Askew]

A good sentiment and I feel the same. And the reward for your honesty is a super image that opens the questions that Dave poses with integrity.
