Thanks Matt!Wow Ned. So true. This is a very powerful image...those shadows really show that cruelty.
Indeed!Scarey
You think so? You're probably right...Emotionally, this has got to be your best shot.
ThanksVery powerful.
Human behavior, stuipdity... Every day, Chris!I don't find it cruel, but it does allegorize the human condition, eh?
:Angel::Angel::Angel:I would have missed that shot because I would have been chasing after my wife, who would have actually found out what was going on with him.
I'm not sure if you're missing something either, but do you see it now?Not sure if I'm missing something, but I can't see the picture.
More like social worker.:Angel::Angel::Angel:
She has a big heart, Ed! Not everyone could do that job. I know a few social workers...More like social worker.
It isn't a heart sort of thing. She's too mean for that.She has a big heart, Ed! Not everyone could do that job. I know a few social workers...
LOLIt isn't a heart sort of thing. She's too mean for that.
That's why you're her husband, after all!Over the years I have been quite entertained at how she deals with people.
One time in Washington, DC someone walks up to us asking for money. The story that day was how hungry they were.
She offers to buy them a meal at a nearby fast food restaurant. They refuse.
She literally drags the woman into the Burger King and buys her lunch.
Meanwhile I'm out on the sidewalk having a smoke with this poor woman's friend and giving her some money so they can have a chaser after the food.
:biggrin:
She's more a fix the homeless person sort of person while I'm more of a be the homeless person person.
No I didn't. Since he was in front of a McDonalds and so many people around without even noticing him, I felt he was just drunk maybe, asleep. Now I'm feeling bad... I knew I should but I didn't. But would I have been feeling better by finding a dead person on the sidewalk? Human behavior, our behavior is often unpredictable in unknown situations.Did you take the time to put down your camera to see if he was breathing? I hope to God you did.
Many things crossed my mind at that instant. But merchants letting this guy lay right on their storefront fooled me. And there was that split second where I thought "nah, it's all a dream". When I passed by later (some 20 minutes later) the guy was gone and there was no ambulance in sight, no police, no panic. So I guess I wasn't wrong after all. But that sight was an ugly one. Next time I'll have to adopt another attitude.Ned, I am disappointed in you. I may leave this forum over this. Photography is one thing, lapsing one's basic human responsibilities another. What was your thinking here? Who cares if this man is dead?....at least I got a good picture? I am disgusted and mortified.
