Homeless in Bunkyo


...with plastic bags for socks

I found this shot really beautiful and strong as well. The man has such a strange way of 'just standing there' almost in the middle of a big street without traffic. really great perspective and composition. I must admit, I'm falling also a bit for b&w!
I have linked your site by watching this photograph!

Thanks Paul! This old guy was such a melancholy soul. I don't think he ever crossed the road - he was standing there for at least 15 minutes.

I had a look at your photos, too - they are beautiful! They capture the moment so well.

Wow. An amazing photo. So striking, but melancholy all at once. Keep taking more photos - I love them!
