    Hi Colin, It’s George here, co-host of “People at Work”. I like this photo and would like to accept it into the group – However that is not possible unless the “King” is working – could you put something in your description that relates to what sort of “work” he is doing. It could then be happily accepted.

  • Thanks George. This man is at work (homeless). I guess that may not qualify so I understand if it doesn’t fit with the group theme. Thanks!

    Not A problem mate consider it accepted – I’ve been homeless and that was the hardest “job” I’ve ever had.

  • glad that is in the past for you… I have never been there, but hopefully photographs like this speak those like me and create some sense of empathy.
