Thank you, Jerry et al.
Back when I took this no one was called *homeless*. Most of these guys didn't want to be at or in a home. The older ones called themselves hobos & bindle stiffs, the younger ones called themselves street people. They worked when they could, they tried to have clean clothes to wear & the first thing they asked when hitching a ride was do you know where the nearest mission is. Some of the nicest people I ever met.

Excellent, jp! I like it a lot... the pose... the background... the treatment. Nicely done, indeed!

Seen it many times now, JP, and I could see it many times again! Strong message in this one I think... contrasting what appears to be a homeless man with the doors to the jail house... makes you wonder which situation's better to be in. Great work!

I think this is a very powerful image. Lost in the jungle.

Nice shot and processing. Definitely a moment in time captured forever.
