Broken Man and Sephora - Times Square
I am in agreement with most ethical photographers in NOT making the homeless an object for exploitative photography. However, I made an exception in this case for two reasons: one, the justaposition of the homeless man with the Sephora store expressed an important failure of American inequality that seems indifferent to the lives of the very poor and; two, because homelessness in American cities is really reaching a breaking point. We, as photographers, have a contribution to make in this vital discussion.
