Shop Dine Enjoy

In my community the homeless shelter assists its residents by employing them to sell newspapers on street corners. This man is trying to stay warm and sell his wares on a nearly empty street.

    No shopping, no dining, no enjoyment for this person. There seems to be no fairness in this world.

    Interesting choice of title. I assume that this area is a sort of restaurant row.

  • H M Bascom replied

    There is no real restaurant row in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The banner is just an advertising ploy to increase sales by pairing shop and dine with enjoy so that you will have fun spending your money.

    this is powerful. Vest on, straight back – He’s trying, on an empty street – wide frame is perfect, and the bright, crystal clarity of the image unblinking and heartbreaking…fine work…
