[AGL] homeless but pic is not street photography

[telebob]

i have no argument with any of the fine photographers you mention.

But Mike, you really are as dense as you seem sometimes.

The subject was a deaf mute with severely limited mental abilities.  He certainly was not posing in any way.

That’s where he sat day after day for many months.  He was a fixture for a time.  The photo could have been a landscape.
One day the sign appeared… click  …  juxtapose, juxtapose.

It’s kinda like this one.
