 Every time I head off to work I see this man blocking the metro entrance in order to ask people for a few coins.

Each time I see him I always think about the fact that he too was once young... and wonder where he came from. What was it like when he was a boy?

I thought this challenge would be the perfect excuse to go chat with him, but unfortunately he did not speak Spanish.

He only let me take one picture of him and this is it.

images like this are great, you captured the tale of his wear well.

the tones are very good if only a bit dark in the shadows, the textures and highlights are perfect.
