Canon EOS 500 SLR. Ilford SP4 125 film. This is the same comment as on the digital version but I felt it was worth repeating:
I have to admit to feeling awful taking this shot. But I know photography is ultimately about people, in all of their forms and circumstances. This was on Nathan Road in Hong Kong in amongst the Prada and Gucci shops. I dropped a couple of coins in his plastic tub and came over all embarrassed about it. It's difficult to reconcile the poverty along with the sheer glitz of the place, but there you are, our world in all its gritty reality. Having said that, I live in London and walk past homeless people all the time. Easier to ignore it at home eh...
