Without an editorial purpose, you are exploiting human misery, and the shadw is indicative of sloppy attention to what is in the frame. Sorry, I can't be positive about this one.

I have no idea why some folks seem to feed photographically on human misery. I have never taken photos like this down all the decades, and never will.

So here’s the story. I posted the photograph because, to me, it just did not relate at all to what had happened.

This guy had been sitting against the wall, taking in the sun when I passed him the first time. About ten minutes later, he was preparing to take a nap. I stood there as he lay down, rubbed his face vigorously several times, put his head down, and I guess went to sleep. He was totally unaware of me or my camera.
I grabbed a couple of shots while he was rubbing his face.
To me the photo looked, especially with my dark shadow, as if I was menacing him, which absolutely was not the case.
So here’s the story. I posted the photograph becau... (show quote)


So:
- you watched him for a while,
- took his picture,
- posted it only to tell us you thought it
looked like you were menacing him
- but you weren’t (which is debatable)

😳?😳?😳?

Calling people like this man “Losers” shows a complete lack of humanity and empathy and is disturbing and disgusting, whatever your “retired cpo” means.

I’m curious to find out if anyone else sees what I see at first glance.
No hints.


A tragic, wasted life!

Did you considered talking with him? Perhaps asking him if you could make a respectful image of him? In other words connect with him as human being and not as a "loser" to record as a "slice of life" Maybe even offer him a bit of money, if you had it on hand, for a cup of coffee (or whatever he wanted). Or is this idea of connecting with a fellow human being too dangerous to do in the Apple that is Big.

Well, since it's a special occasion, I'll mind me manners for the time being and say Happy Anniversary to the Corps and thank all you past Corps members here in uhh and everywhere else for your service. It is a mighty deed that you've done, me lads, and I'm exceedingly proud of you. It would indeed be a different world without you.
