I think this guy might keep more regular work hours than I do. His workplace at the moment is on a footbridge right outside where I live so I see him pretty often. Some of the people who make their living this way give me the impression of being totally cut off from everyone else but when this guy takes a break I sometimes see him chatting, for example with the guys who are currently repainting the footbridge.

And that's probably it for the next couple of weeks. I'll catch up with everyone's shots when I get back.

Your low perpsective captured him in a headdown vulnerable position, with people walking away from him. He probably carries a heavy burden on his weary soul, bowing himself to the harsh reality, and asking for help from strangers, day and night. As I said before, it's always sad to see how visible he is, yet so often unseen by others. My vote for your moving picture. Hope more will get to see it and spare a thought and lend a helping hand to many of them in our world.
