5th Sam by Mashuga

Miami, Fla.

Sam
Homeless man living under a highway overpass in Miami, Fla.
I shot a series of Sam but thought this said a lot about his situation. There is an anonymous quality and a personal quality both at the same time.
I spent about two hours talking to him and learned a lot about his life. One of the things that horrified me about Sam was that he slept on the asphalt, which accounts for the blackness in his skin.

This is just amazing!! the eye has the reflection of a man sitting on a chair (must be the photographer). Every crease on the face has been so sharp like cracked desert rocks in sahara

A terrific photographic eye. Both the subject and the photographer, whom you can see clearly in the subject's eye.
