This is Kim, he is a homeless man living in Tampa. I met him downtown Friday during lunch and asked him if I could take his photo. He agreed and we began to talk.
He has a Bachelors Degree in Fluid Thermal Engineering. In his own words he's had a "stretch of bad luck" and needed some time to get himself "back on track". He lost his job after breaking two pieces of equipment where he worked totaling over $10, 000.00. After speaking with him for some time I believe he has a problem with alcohol...but otherwise a very nice man with a genuine smile.
He collects cans to recycle at $.88 / lb, and tells me he can get around $5.00 for a full bag of crushed cans. I gave him what I could, and wanted it to be more by the time I was done.
I took several shots while we were talking, shook his hand, and left with a different outlook on my world..
We are all connected. Even though sometimes it's scary to look into a stranger's eyes, you may be looking into a mirror of your past or future. Be good to one another.
