homeless

Portland, Oregon

the plight of the Portland homeless was made clear at an ongoing demonstration, as hinted at in the previous photo...the phenomenon seems to be widespread...some people fall between the cracks..

We see this now everywhere in Paris too despite our president swore that with him, after one year, there wouldn't be anybody sleeping in the streets anymore . V

A very poignant image which does not occur in only Portland. This is a nationwide problem and Walter is correct ~ it is going to get worse. :(

Very powerful image, David. I've been going to my husband's hometown of Portland since before we were married, and years ago one didn't see this kind of scene there. Things have sadly changed.

Aside from the depressing aspect. i think that this is your best image so far. It tells a story and is technically superb.
