Advertisement Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 Hi David Cantor, Take a look here I'd rather not mention his name. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pop Posted August 19, 2023 Share #2 Posted August 19, 2023 You not only don't mention his name, you don't show his likeness, either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Cantor Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share #7 Posted August 20, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) First up, I do not know his name, just his nickname. This young man’s circumstances were probably of the worst kind that I have encountered. Parental abuse, poverty, homelessness and much more. Our conversation lasted about 30 minutes and it was intense. When we parted, he gave me a hug and promised to keep me informed about his life, in return I gave him some much needed (and not asked for) money. What is certain is that he is unlikely to ever own a Leica camera. Photographing homeless people is a contentious topic. Some people contend that recording the plight of homeless people is unethical, I believe that ignoring their conditions is unacceptable. In my posts, I usually provide the name of the person I have photographed but in this case I decided against using his name in order that he should not be the subject of an internet search. I originally uploaded a file with the nickname, realised what I had done and deleted it. I renamed the file and uploaded again. As for Pop, words don’t fail me but I choose not to engage.

stuny Posted August 20, 2023 Share #11 Posted August 20, 2023 Ah. I finally see it. A superb and disturbing photo, with a perfect background for your subject. Please let us know when he updates you. BTW: Many homeless feel invisible, and actions like yours - engaging them - is a kindness. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
