Sad Santa

My Picture-A-Day from yesterday. Spotted this guy in front of the fancy mall. A bit sad... I think the beard is real though.

Your photos are in a class by themselves, Micheal. They are not just technically good, you have a terrific sense of what makes a memorable photograph. I have been enjoying your postings and trying to learn why they are so great, so I can improve mine! Thanks for posting.

Rather poignant shot there. Makes you step back and evaluate doesn't it? At least he looks well dressed for the weather. Linda Stock

Micheal, it certainly tells a story.

Maybe I should clarify - I certainly don't mean the gentleman is a trial. The trials I meant are the hard times "making ends meet" and how especially difficult harsh weather is for some.

Nicely shot, Michael. It combines both the joy and trials of this time of year.

One of those pictures that make you smile, then stop and think. I hope his Christmas goes well for him. Bea.

That is one of those poignant pictures that makes a person quit complaining and take stock of the good things in their life. Very evocative.
