Saw this old-timer. I think he was homeless and it struck me that he might have been thinking about his past and his current place and neither was very uplifting. And he knew it wouldn't be long now -- the end was near, all alone.

Very sad but becoming all to common. A very dramatic image Jack.

A heart tugging emotional mover. Walking by, I’d be stopping in my track…..

Great shot…evokes so many emotions…stories to tell…etc.. Yet when I see shots like this I often feel they’re intrusive…and I’ve taken sone myself so I’m not criticizing..just have mixed feelings.

Yes, I understand about intrusive, it's a tough call but in this case, I felt that if there was intrusion, it was minimal. I don't shoot many images like this but this one just reached out to me. I tried to stay a respectful distance.
