I saw this homeless guy who was drinking alone and when I got my camera out, felt he knew I was taking the picture and didn’t budge, I even felt he was enjoying it, even from that far away! I decided to just let him know that he wasn’t alone in my own way. In spite of the song called ”Drinking in L.A.” by Bran Van 3000 that makes drinking alone such a trendy thing, I titled this one ”Drinking Alone’‘. By doing so I brought this guy closer to me and the viewers, establishing a connection from far away and at the same time, establishing a connection with the reality of this homeless guy, drinking alone in a back alley, downtown Montreal.
I agree, it’s a great shot. So often strangers will turn away if they think you are taking their photo.
Thank you for participating in my weekly photo challenge.
TY! Yes they will!! Especially if they are homeless and drinking alone with the money they got panhandling… But this is a theory, the panhandling part I mean because I am sure he was homeless…
Pretty friggin’ cool. 🙂
