beggar

Quite sad really and makes me wonder how much offending centered around mental illness. To be knocking on doors begging is desperate - I wonder if he saw better pickings in the upmarket village of Cullercoats?

this one breaks my heart. look at him with his sweet dog...

Age and loyalty. Poverty strikes disproportionately to the aged but they will not deny the companionship of the non judgmental friend.

While the photo says "beggar" A few other things to note---the even lengths of cord hanging over the man's arm and from the dog's collar. Shoelaces perhaps? It would seems he's trying to make his living however humble the circumstances.

Looks like he's selling belts. And yes, heartbreaking.

this is so moving, i'm about to cry.

listen, people at LOC,
you have made a great thing.
loc photos allowed me, a student for graphic design from israel,
to use your free photos for creative projects, and it turned amazing.
i cannot express my deepest gratitude.

here are several examples for my use of your amazing photos (the bulk of photos are used in my final project, which i havn't uploaded yet)

thanks so much :)

Amazing picture.

Unlike the woman on the right (and the men, for that matter), this beggar woman isn't wearing a hat. She was probably an immigrant and immigrant women covered their heads with shawls. This woman's shawl has fallen down over her shoulders from the weight of the baby. As the grim looks on the pedestrians faces show, she was a disruptive presence on the street.
