4 Waiting To Cross... Plus 1 Just Waiting by Kevin Thai
Featured 2011
April 5th – In the A love of CANON group
April 6th – In the Street Photography and Photojournalism group
Every morning on my way to work from station, I walk past this corner and this person is always there, this time I had stopped to hand over some of my spare change after I had taken this shot.
I didn’t realise how much of a contrast it really does become having four well dressed individuals waiting to cross the street on one side, yet on the other is just one chap who is waiting…

Wonderful shot! It really does tell a story :) Instant favourite.
Thanks Sue. What I didn’t mention the description and I find very admirable is that the sign he has written reads “No lies, no stories, just doing it tough, thank you”

Very sad situation, but you captured the sadness very compassionately.
Thanks Patricia, that means a lot. I was hoping I was able to capture just exactly the contrast between the people I was thinking at the time.
