I walked up on this sight while strolling through the city last winter. Needless to say... it was a cold day. This guy is definitely braver than me.

Excellent capture, Mr William! A brave and tough dude, probably not by choice. I like the way the red tail lights add to the color scheme. Well done!

I agree, excellent capture, William . As well as a sad and thought provoking one. Very powerful image.

A very good capture of a very sad state of affairs William. This should make us all much more appreciative of what we have.

Spend a few minutes each day being grateful for what you have and who you have to share it with.

This is a Marvelous capture of a very sad scene Wm. We all should count ourselves very lucky. Sure wish there was a way the cities all around the world could help get them off of the street.

I doubt that he has much choice; his middle front may be warm from the steam coming out of the grate but I'm sure the rest of him is cold. I know that occasionally some of these folks will adopt an expression of despair to get a handout (I've seen them do it here while wearing ear-buds attached to an MP3 player hidden in a pocket), but this guy is obviously not faking it. This is a candid and honest capture of a man in distress, a national problem that stimulus payments cannot assuage. It's top -drawer photos like this that keep me pushing the site for a photo-journalism gallery. This one is a perfect candidate for it.
