Man outside McDonald's

[Zygote]

A man that often sits outside a McDonald's in our city. I find it very uncomfortable taking pictures in public like this even though he said it was ok. So these two was taken very quickly because i felt people staring funnily.

You know, I've found it very tempting to take shots of street people. Their faces are full of character. Like you, I usually don't, for two reasons: first, they'll chase me for money; and second, I really feel like I'm taking advantage of them.

That being said, I sure wish I could see his face in your shots - that's where the power comes from.

I really find the first shot powerfull, just how he looks tired and withered, just looks to me like he's sick of it all but keeps going. Hard to explain but a great set.
