Photo by myself, on the 34th Street subway platform in Midtown.
We're due for a heavy snowfall overnight. With every extreme change of weather, the homeless seek shelter, often in subway stations.
Above, a man stood with his belongings piled up in a shopping cart. At his feet was a sign that read 'Please keep your money and your food'.
I'm not quite sure how this man gets by. I think he was praying, and that this was not the first time I've seen him. An earlier photo here.

Sad.
ReplyDeleteIts never a good time to be homeless but now specially not.
ReplyDeleteI remember the crucifix Kitty and this image is as humbling and moving as the previous one.
ReplyDeleteI cannot help but wonder what his story is.
I like his style. On the street you often encounter people that insist on offering help when often times you just want to be left in peace.
