My recent trip to Europe was an eye opener and one of the ways was seeing the poor there as I have here in America. I watched this woman for about an hour and she never moved, never raised her head in that time. I did give her some Euros for allowing me to photograph her. They are considered gypsies in Rome and most are ignored, at least by those that live there. It seems the gypsies live on the generosity of tourists. The beggars I did not like were the ones sitting on a comfortable blanket with a tiny dog on their lap eating out of a can of dog food while the person begged for money. This work is not model release.

Taken using the Poor Man’s Macro technique. So titled because my camera’s name is Jupiter :)

I see this guy around a lot. He is a happy guy, though, i’m not sure how happy he was having his portrait done. My wife saw him yesterday but didn’t tell me in time, see, I plan on printing this picture and taking it to him – see what he thinks of it… i’d like to know his story. update VERY excited, actually… I was on my way to a shoot I had this afternoon at Cafe Nouveaute @ Habitat in Kings road, London… [good coffee!] ...anyway, was on my way to this shoot and who do I see but “the homeless guy”... I did a double take cause he was sitting in front of a sandwich shop at a table having a sandwich.. same clothes.. I stopped and looked at him, almost pointed, he pointed at me and had a look on his face.. I walked over and said “Hi, I to…” and before I could finish he said “You took my photo”... “I did” I said, “I hope you didn’t mind”... He went on to say that he was actually quite stunned that anyone would want to take his photo and that he was touched. I [very sadly] didn’t have time to stop, I was running late for a client… Anyway, I told him that I really like the shot I took of him and asked if he wanted a copy – he got a bit teary and I got quite choked up…! it was weird and really sweet all at the same time. I plan on carrying a print around with me when wandering about, just incase I see him… ....His name is Bruce If I sell this work in any way shape or form, half of the proceeds will go to Bruce, though, I worry what he will do with the money… well.. we shall see…

This shot was taken less than a minute from Simplicity; I couldn’t believe how rapidly the sun was changing. This was of course all due to the thick smoke in the air; the wind blew all night, and the fires grew very quickly. The fire nearest to us grew by 8,000 acres over night and now is more than 35,000. / / ____- / All The Materials Contained May Not Be Reproduced, Copied, Edited, Published, Transmitted Or Uploaded In Any Way Without My Permission.

Incognita’s involuntary incarceration in the Oubliette had left her decidedly fractious. Acearn’s fabulous image of the raven Acearn is, without doubt, one of the finest animal photographers on rb. I was forced to take liberties with the original—but please be reassured that no animals were harmed in the process.

Inspired by Tom Waits – Poor Edward Lyrics Did you hear the news about Edward? / On the back of his head he had another face / Was it a woman’s face or a young girl? / They said to remove it would kill him / So poor Edward was doomed The face could laugh and cry / It was his devil twin / And at night she spoke to him / Things heard only in hell / But they were impossible to separate / Chained together for life Finally the bell tolled his doom / He took a suite of rooms / And hung himself and her from the balcony irons / Some still believe he was freed from her / But I knew her too well / I say she drove him to suicide / And took poor Edward to hell This is my way to healing and selfrealization. If my work can give something to an other human being it is twice worth the effort. Thanks for stopping by and look into my world for a minute.

scusa

“A room with a view” was featured in the groups Iberia and Portugal This building is next to and has a view on the River Douro, Oporto, Portugal. Such placement would be worth a fortune in some other countries, but here most houses on the riverside seem to be almost falling apart and inhabited by the poor, or at least not the wealthiest. (this is not based on “facts” but on my impressions). The title was inspired by E.M. Forster’s novel thus titled and the movie based on it. Canon PowerShot SX1 IS, 1/200 s, f/4, ISO 80

The Laborer / / In the sizzling heat of the afternoon / Clothes drenched and shoes filled with sweat / Last nights long shift makes the body ache / In growing age when the muscle is the only strength / The will like faith growing stronger with each passing day / A disease knocking at the visceral parts of the body / Joints now like the hinges in the machine need oil / Moved in hundreds and like all others / Away from the family and the little ones memory / A letter from the home in need of money / For the doctor’s fee as education is forlorn desire / Minimum wage half robbed by the supervisor / And like a true competition in economics / Out on the metal gates a replacement is waiting / Alienated from the production of the product / Creating surplus for the consumption of the rich / His toils are in the shine of the markets in goods glittering / Unaware of the political upheaval / No care for his welfare / He has no future; his children will also work like him / The power of the muscle, will and faith / He is a laborer who if not given the job / Will go for a daily wage and sleep on the road side / Poverty is his bread, poverty his butter / Poverty that alienates / Poverty the missing link / Poverty the slogan / Poverty it said is loved by the prophets / Poverty it said is gods chosen creed / Poverty the banner / Poverty the tears / Poverty the helplessness / Poverty the consciousness / Break it free / The ordained writing on the book of fate / To bring it down / Open its pages / Remove the names / Of all the people poor / Break it free / The pages they call divine / For divinity is me / Divinity is you / For I shall write / My own destiny / On the book of fate / Up from the skies / Down to the earth / In poverty I will live / But on my own choosing / Break the bond / Of eternal slavery / Poverty / Thou art the bitterest vice Sadiqullah Khan
