Homeless Man [Explore] Euan McLachlan 23/3/54 - 20/7/12 RIP

In April 2010 I took this candid photograph of a homeless man who is well known in Newcastle www.flickr.com/photos/16059306@N08/4539041456/in/set-7215...

 

I saw him again today whilst walking through the city again. I have encountered him a number of times in my life and have given him both food and money to help him. I know from various emails from people that he never begs and keeps himself to himself. Today I asked him if I could take some photos of him thinking that he would just walk away. I was surprised when he just stood there and aloud me to take a series of images of him. He should be a constant reminder of who close we all are to being in his situation. I believe that anyone can make poor life decisions or be dealt some unfortunate luck. If you see him don't pester him, treat him with respect and if you can buy him some food.
