Richard is a homeless Vietnam Veteran living on the streets of North Las Vegas.
He is a very intelligent and hard-working man (when he can find work)
who took to the streets after his wife passed away several years ago.

Well-done, but sad shot, Geoff. Thanks for providing the background info.

The story makes this shot more interesting. Maybe he's writing his memoirs? I guess it's his choice as to how he lives.

Looks like a nice guy.

Very nice shot. He's clean cut for being homeless, and his watch is not something you normally see on homeless people. I believe you that he is but he doesn't fit the homeless look...know I mean?

Excellent shot, and an interesting but sad description..

Interesting shot, knowing the background. I wonder if he is very happy living this way. If its a preference rather than necessessity. He looks intelligent. Have you talked to him? Linda S
