This street image and the question "What Might I Be" is inspired by the interesting times we live in. Many people including myself are seeing the need to prepare ourselves for the things to come, the parts of life that can't be measured with a ruler or reduced to an email or a Facebook post! Please share what you see or feel when viewing this composition.

I see a man that may be down on his luck but boy has he lived , I bet he was once a service man , he has such sadness in his eyes . He believes in Christ going by his t shirt . He just needs someone out there to give him a chance once again.

I like you focus my gaze on his dignity rather than his poverty. Maybe I learned this from Mother Teresa who always said "whenever I meet someone in need, it is really Jesus in His most distressing disguise."

A sad but beautiful image....I so hope 2017 brings him some joy and prosperity

I see a a man deep in thought, many happy and sad memories of someone who has led an interesting life maybe he has no regrets for he has lived not barely existed:-)

First, as a photographer. I like the light and the background. For the person, I would like to have a drink with him and ask him about his life, could be some interesting stories coming out !

Truly his stories would be real insight into living as one of the many street people we so often see but do not communicate with...
