Home is where you make it
« on: April 13, 2016, 20:00:28 »
Taken recently in Chinatown here in Toronto.
This homeless Chinese man spends most of his time in a few square block area of this particular neighbourhood, and is most often to be found very close to a local coffee shop where he is allowed to refill his cups and used the washrooms.
He is another of the many very resourceful street people who seem to prefer to live on the streets rather than use the local shelters

I shoot with film. That's film. F...i...l...m. You remember film. It was in all the papers.

I have often wondered what it feels like to live on the street.
Good capture - the colours are particularly to my liking

A hard life. Makes my 1. world problems seem extremely small. I always found it hard to depict people that I dont interact with on some level. Especially those in despair. Eye contact is my threshold to take someones picture.

Being homeless is a challenge enough without Toronto's cold.  I hope he holds on.
