This is marvelous portrait and with a great story to go with it. As far as "happy," Traveler, well, if he's getting it out of a "bag," consider yourself lucky that your happiness is not superficial. I see loneliness and suffering in those eyes and that's why, for me, this image underlines the true nature of despair. shu

I really like this image, Traveller. I wish I was bolder in photographing strangers. The other day I saw a homeless person pushing a shopping cart. What was unusual was his cart had a solar panel that was powering a small TV! It would have been a good photo. -dtallakson

..but the problem for me is trying to decide how happy they really are... His eyes are sparkling and clear. That is a good sign. Thanks, Traveller. Penny Street

A homeless man that rides a bicycle and from time to time, helps me park my car...not that I need any help but he stands out there at night directing people where to park...it makes him feel useful. I give him money on occasion. Most people are better to him than I am, in that sometimes he bothers me...calling me boss, following me, etc. However, this is, I think, I hope, one of my "important," pictures....whatever that means. He is wearing hospital clothing, from Critical Care....indicating that he's been there recently, I suppose. He drinks from a brown paper sack, sitting there on a white plastic chair eating fast food from, I think, a nearby dumpster. He seems to be a happier human being than many....or myself. Ahem.

I like the portrait Trav but have to admit to being a bit lost as to the explanation. My brain obviously on vacation just at this time!... ;-( I too, miss your wonderful poetry hereto! ~ Regards Bob

I miss your ever helpful and ever interesting background story, Traveller. What? Who? Why? (A face perfect for wonderful portraiture work, as I am sure you also felt.) Regards Nico
