The Doorway

This is part of a series of images I am working on in an attempt to highlight the plight of the homeless on the streets, principally of the UK as that is where I am from, but essentially anywhere in the world. The guy sitting on the floor is homeless, I know I chatted to him. This was in the middle of Leeds City Centre on a busy Friday morning, but I manged to catch this moment whiles the street around him was free of other pedestrians. The guy was sitting in front of vacant shop units and was simply whiling away his time waiting for anyone to drop something into his cup that he had placed on the pavement in front of him. I am part of the same society that this guy is also a part of. But I am blessed to be part of the society ...

This is part of a series of images I am working on in an attempt to highlight the plight of the homeless on the streets, principally of the UK as that is where I am from, but essentially anywhere in the world. This, taken on the streets of Leeds, West Yorkshire UK is another example of a guy having to resort to begging for his living. I am part of the same society that this guy is also a part of. But I am blessed to be part of the society that would fall into the definition of “haves” rather than that of the “have not’s” and I am grateful to my God for that. At the moment I am unsure where this project is going to take me and this image is one of the first tentative step into an un-known world for me, but whatever, it is my intent...

Alone - Even in the countries second largest city out side of the capital it is still possible to be alone. This is part of a series of images I am working on in an attempt to highlight the plight of the homeless on the streets, principally of the UK as that is where I am from, but essentially anywhere in the world. The guy sitting on the floor is homeless, I know I chatted to him. This was in the middle of Leeds City Centre on a busy Friday morning, but I manged to catch this moment whiles the street around him was free of other pedestrians. The emptiness of the street acts as a metaphor for many of the homeless ans those that sleep rough in our towns and cities. The repetitive nature of the receding buildings acts as a metaph...

This is part of a series of images I am working on in an attempt to highlight the plight of the homeless on the streets, principally of the UK as that is where I am from, but essentially anywhere in the world. I wonder in exactly how many places would this man be WELCOME? how interested is he in; Self sService Machines Online Banking Customer Service WiFi Place to Talk and about what? and about Customer Service? All these things, maybe things that you and I take for granted, are things that are a world away from this mans day to day experiences. Instead of all those things on offer, he takes advantage of more simple things. Like rummaging in the bins for the things that he wants and possibly even needs for survival.........

Why is this called Contrasts? This is part of a series of images I am working on in an attempt to highlight the plight of the homeless on the streets, principally of the UK as that is where I am from, but essentially anywhere in the world. The contrasts? The guy sitting on the floor is homeless, I know I chatted to him. The people standing are at the ATM drawing out money. Yes the guy sitting on the floor has strategically positioned himself but nevertheless, there is a contrast here both in the picture and in society itself. I am part of that society and I am blessed to be part of the society that would fall into the definition of "haves" rather than that of the "have not's" and I am grateful to my God for that. At the moment ...
