There are several homeless people in the two towns close to where i live. There are also a team of beggars operating up and down the stretch of the dual carriageway near to my home. They’re risking their lives walking up and down, crossing back and forth and standing at the traffic lights with paper cups and tapping on car/van windows asking for spare change. More money needs to be given to council boroughs to enable them to give these people a place to live without the need to wander around in all weathers and without a life…. not hotels or hostels… they need practical help as there are many with mental health, alcohol and drug dependancy and abuse in their lives.

Often, they would be denigrated as not or as inferior.
Each had a story, each worthy of kindness.

I haven’t seen anything like this. I found the subjects hard to look at in the beginning. Then, I looked directly into their faces and experienced the respect that I profoundly owe to each. Good craftsmanship and commentary.
