Taken last weekend during our Annual Niagara Falls Schlock-fest.
While walking along the Tourist Strip, we noticed more Homeless persons and street panhandlers than we've ever seen before.
While my photobud entered a store, I struck up a conversation with this street person, petted his dog and discussed sports. As is usually the case he neither complained nor lamented his lot, but on the contrary seemed quite optimistic and happy about life.
We gave him a few dollars, chatted some more and he was kind enough to let us take a few shots.
