hmm, gotta suck being homeless. What funny is never in my whole life have i been to a city with such friendly homeless people. They all play chess in Hyde park (sydney, not London), i was there shooting some morning stuff, started talking to a South African bloke. He came to Sydney on holiday 6 years earlier and had lost his passprt, wallet and everything. The embassey in Sydney had basically just ignored him, so with no job, no right to work and no where to live, thats how it happens i suppose. He was a really nice bloke, played a game of chess, gave him a few dollers (he didnt ask, and i had to practically force them on him), and told me he was hoping his daughter was coming to rescue him once she had enough money.Hope can do amazing things. This image was shot outside the Opera House, what makes me feel ill is that behind me while i was taking it was a swanky resterant, chucking away endless amounts of food. What a world we live in.
