Free Breakfast

A homeless man is given breakfast most days by a small local restaurant. I've seen his buggy of belongings covered over on a busy street corner many times. today he allowed me to take his photo while telling me the government was watching him.

wonderful portrait. Interestingly, if he is truly homeless and without electronic devices he is being scrutinized less by the government than the rest of us.

A great character study. I hope he is not suffering some sort of paranoia or delusions concerning the government.
Then again, the government is probably watching all of us. V
