		| | Character from a Turgenev novella. Great in color. Great shot 
 I do not photograph homeless people (or beggars) unless they see my camera and ask to be photographed. A rare thing. Most of them are beyond words and I feel primarily to help them somehow than photograph them. In the end, the truth is that I do neither of these two choices - most of homeless people in NYC are hard to approach and we are asked to help them through organized charity. Am not sure I fully appreciate  Diane Arbus obsessive search. But your Johnny is (was) a different character

		| | Fine portrait of a man who certainly has experienced more than I can fathom, who has the steady eye of character and integrity -  at least as I see it.  I wish him well. |

		| | Johnny has very nice happy eyes, underneath all that roughness I'm sure is a very gentle soul.  Really like this one all the best. |
