Great shot Eggz. A perfect example of why we need a photo/journalism category. There was a link but I can't find it now on the photo/journalism question.
Times are hard Eggs and this is a perfect example.
It’s a good journalistic style shot and my only critique would have been to straighten up the verticals with a slight rotation and crop it differently so in the composition, the man is slightly higher and off center to the right a little more to emphasise that he is just a part of the problem.
Really my only other concern is the narrative, which seems to be making a lot of assumptions – unless you know him personally that is.
A fine B&W scene showing our troubled times Gregg. I started to do a series on this subject a while back. It got to depressing so I deleated everything grabbed my camera and headed back down to the river. Nice work.
