    Congratulations on being featured on the Red Bubble Homeless-themed home page.
    November 21st 2009.

    You have managed to capture the lives of the homeless in such a way that it makes us think about how lucky we are and it also keeps the image brutally truthful as to what still happens today- even if we are not aware of it at first.

    Well captured Steven, very powerful in black and white.
    I have a son that has very serious sorosis of the liver, he is 32 and will not live for much longer due to alcoholism. This man is also someone’s son, he appears to be lost in a bottle, it is so sad and such a waste of a precious life, as your excellent image shows.
