Faces - The Homeless Man & his Shopping Cart

This man became one of the faces I remembered most from Washington. Every time we got on the coach or in a taxi, we would pass him. He was never without his shopping cart and never accompanied by anyone else.

The homeless community in Washington DC seemed very much to be a community. They would gather together under bridges and collect beds and furniture to create their own 'home'. They would sit in deck-chairs in a circle talking. This man was always alone. I never got to hear his story, but I hope that in some ways this picture tells at least a part of it.

If you ever see him, maybe you can find out his story.
