Q: What is the secret to great B&W photos?
A: Do you know?
Photo license: © All rights reserved
On a photo shoot with a friend, we happened upon a homeless persons squat. My friend wanted his photo taken in the middle of what was left of someone's life. He put his self in someone elses shoes only for a moment but, you can see the empathy on his face. The poor soul who called this abandoned loading dock his home had recently been huffing paint from a brown paper bag. The smell still lingered in the air. Makes me wonder what chain of events placed this person in this demoralizing situation.

Gritty and realistic. "Despair" describes the scene perfectly.
