A Portrait of Pain. Street portrait of a homeless man

            Beggar in Bath, Somerset who I understand was a rough sleeper. This guy was not posing for me - but he did look at me as I shot (with his permission).

I didn't know this man from Adam, but I could not but help empathise with his very evident emotional pain.

Every line in his face tells a story: one I don't like reading but recognise. Everyone hurts. Sometimes. Some more than others. It's a hard life that brings people to live on the streets, and an even harder one on them.

I don't know if this guy is still alive as I used to see him around a lot but have not seen him for a long time now.
