Description
"Sun streaking coldan old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Feeling alone
the army's up the rode
salvation a la mode and
a cup of tea. "
--Jethro Tull, Aqualung
Self-portrait from my recent night trip, I've seen the wall and I had to take something like this... another one similar may come afterwards...
BTW it was kinda scared, because I was alone in the city at 3 in the night and there was so many strange noises... freaky
Lucky that no real homeless attacked me 
EDIT: I cropped it as it looks really better
hope you all like it too! thanks a lot
EDIT2: I begin to really hate the framing, so here's new one... I personally don't like the image that much now, but a few people liked it, so it's probably not that bad

This is good, but then if you had showed more of the window at the far right and positioned the guy at the far left, it would be a better composition.

actually I cropped it some time ago, but then I made some stupid changes and was too lazy to crop it again

this isnt that bad
actually its probably my favorite from your gallery. that pose, even where he is sitting is ideal for this shot, it really emulates that "what am i going to do?" feeling of someone that just recently went homeless. one would probably look more defeated if he were without a home longer. that window at the top-right is a little distracting though.

i really like the contrast of it,the b+w is very emotional to this and gives it so much more depth and meaning.Though the one thing that does bother me abit is the window im guessing it just distracts your attention but might just be me.
I think if you did the background in very light colors and then a strong b+w for the person would look very good giving a good affect of isolation,unless you already have
But great shot.

well, I wanted the shot look quite underground-ish, so this was the perfect background for my purposes, although I agree that with your suggestion it could look much better
thanks

Great concept, great pic. I do agree with some other comments that adding some contrast might even make it better.

I really like the concept, its an amazing picture, in my opinion to get it perfect, I'd want more contrast because it looks quite grey and I'd make the figure a bit more central to the photograph.
but well done

I wanted the figure a bit aside, it makes you feel it's not really important
I may have done a sepia or contrast it a bit, I'll probably try it soon (when I have my computer back)... thanks for nice comment and

this is an awsome picture with a sad story behind it...i love it!

wow!!..great job..good choise to make it black and white...very expressive!

WOW yet another great shot you have here, the lighting and shadows are great and it does show so much emotion which I really like about works like these they make it seem like the view (me) could be sitting there alone and empty. very nice work...but...i dont really like the top of it...its just me but I think if it was crops just where bricks start and leave the roof out it would just a little more depth to it and a little more or a lone/emptiness to it...could just be me tho.!!! awesome work tho! and I know my comment is slightly long but I have lots to say about this awesome shot you have here, I look forward to see more of your work!

I like this whole shot. You have the small figure in this HUGE area of open space and it looks emotional. The cropping you did was extremely nice in that regard by the way.

anyway, homeless doesn't need to be dirty old guy... let's say it's just a guy who ran away from the family?

I would have done it in color but just kinda desaturated a bit ...
Anyways, this is a pretty cool shot

I'll check him out
