Heavy stuff.
Is that a person under the plastic? just a bit away from the people and the sunlight...
Great shot with the low angle sun and the guy's far off stare.

Good shots! We were shooting in the same neighborhood recently!

When I go into the city I look for stuff like this, but they never seem to be as good as yours.
You sure have the urban eye

pio...u make me ANGRY!!!! LOL!!! u're eye, shots, representations and definitely your PP, are a gift and always on-point...ANOTHER great series!

good stuff Pio .. the 2nd one is awesome ! ... i love how its composed, everything in there fits and describes the photo so well !

Pio.that second photo is stunning.

The second shot is fantastic and is a testament to the effect good natural lighting has on a scene. I love it.

Great stuf Pio.

I especially love the second shot.

Great work as usual, Al.

Thanks for looking and for the comments all! Some notes:

#1 Yes, that's the same guy under the plastic sheet, this is how he sleeps when it is cold.

#2 was taken on a different day, early morning when the sun was still low.

This person is an enigma. I see him almost everyday as I take my son to school in Manhattan. He never bothers anybody, he doesn't beg for anything at all. One day I bought a cup of coffee and some rice cakes and offered it to him. He just smiled and shook his head. I was quite stunned with the polite refusal. A few weeks later, just to see if he will decline again, I bought breakfast from a nearby diner and offered it again. Same result. I am bewildered that someone in the depths of poverty would turn down a meal. Where does his strength come from? What is his source of enlightenment? I am reminded by the song of The Beatles, The Fool On The Hill. It may turn out that he knows what's really going on in this world, and I am the fool for possessing such worldly goods.

Forgive the rambling. Photos were taken with a G6, by the way.

pio, i wanted to ask...in shots like this, where 1/2 is in shade and 1/2 in bright sunlight, where do you meter?? u know me, always wanting to learn..

Shot 2 is epic. Very well done

A man without needs is very rare.

Great shots
