keep walking

Sometimes when I walk through Manhattan or elsewhere looking for pictures I haven't yet taken I walk into scenes that make me uncomfortable. I don't know what makes this guy deserve his position in life. Or why he deserves being the subject in a sneaky photographer's collection of images. I normally avoid taking pictures of the truly down and out when they're asleep. In some sort of respect for their integrity. Most homeless or alcoholic or drugged out bums are not bad people. Some are just unlucky. Or too weak to cope with the complexity of modern life. Some may even have chosen that life. However, this scene is strangely beautiful despite the sadness of the place. I've often found the worst looking places some of the most interesting ones to photograph. (This is on 30th street far west in Manhattan.) And if not else, this reminds me that the step from the comfortable kingsize double mattress and down pillows at home to a card board bed in the street isn't that...

she is beautiful

Welcome to dead boring

I'm afraid this is a typical lobby at million sof little local companies in America. The sad thing is that it;s also a typical lobby not only in America, but around the world. I've lived in Tokyo, Hongkong, Singapore, Amsterdam, Stcokholm, Gothenburgh, New York, New Jersey and this is what it looks just about everywhere. Inspiring. It inspires people to go and hang themselves or turn to the bottle. By the way, this is by no means one of the worst examples. More like one of the nicer ones.
