This gave me goosebumps all over. His cackle and expression is almost sureal against the background and the obvious situation he is in. What a twist and I love how the crutches just stand right out as a very prominent element of the image. Outstanding!
Great expression on this guys face. All pics in the series are interesting in their own way. A story behind everyone I'm sure. This is my favorite. The crutches really set up this story because it makes you take a second look at the guy and thats when you see his empty pant leg.
Hard to imagine what their day to day lives must be like. Being in fear of other homeless to the constant exposure to the elements. Glad to see a photo of one actually laughing. Atleast he has crutches and can get around. I wonder if he has a wheelchair somewhere. He probably lives at a shelter as you don't really see a bed roll with him there.
Anyway, great picture Joey. You should move to Toronto man. That city has your name all over it.
AWWW - the simple things can bring a smile can't they? Bless his heart and bless you for capturing a moment of happiness. The composition is great with the balancing act between him and the crutches. Another great one.
