    Oh, my god! Stunning photo!! The despair of this man, with all those restaurant frequenters in the back of the shot. Magnificent work, I really feel for this man. His ankle is swollen…

    Those are people sitting around the fountain (now torn down) in Washington Square Park, and as this man walked by he stopped to listen to the music where I was sitting. I thought he had a beautiful face, hadn’t noticed about his ankle. Thanks for your comment.

    another amazing glimpse of humanity…...the look on his face is haunting in its sadness….I just hope there was something more positive going on behind the scenes….

    He was listening to people singing. At the time I didn’t take his expression as sad, so much as engaged. And he had a lovely face.
