This does'nt show up on the "frontpage" where you would get more comments. Please post it again to the "front page" I'm interested in the comments. I work in NYC, born and raised here. Some of the best photos I see are of beggars, but I never had the nerve to take their photos. Just yesterday I saw a beggar in front of Madison Square garden that looked like Jesus offering up a communion cup. Would of made a fine photo.

I'd feel the same way-I often go into NY and see beggars-they are forgotten/blend in the streets, stations.

I see this even in our little, yet strong state. I leave in Burlington, VT and it is really sad to see our people living like this.. What I've learned from my own experiance in life some choose this way of life, yet I believe alot more have no choice. NO ONE should have to beg in our country.....

photojournalist quality, convert to B&W and add some grain for an even stronger image.

Shocking and suprising after seeing the thumbnail. I agree with northstar. I'd like to see that.
