Cleaning "Broome"
The shot was taken on the corner of Broadway and Broome St in lower Manhattan.The man in the red overall is a street cleaner.The man to his left by the trash receptacle is homeless.He's digging for bottles and cans to deposit.The man in the overall was waiting for him to finish so that he can change the trash bag.That never happened for the seven minutes or so I stood there watching them.The man in the red overall eventually walked away.The irony here however is that the man in the overall could also be homeless and may be receiving assistance from the community to help get him back on his feet.There are several community programs in the city that get donations from the city council to help provide job training for the homeless.They are trained for jobs like street cleaning,painting,and maintenance repair.The program will start them off part-time,then give them full-time work if it finds that they are serious.
