I hope this image makes you smile.
If you look at this man he is clearly homeless, with all his belongings in the backpack beside him. To many urban dwellers pigeons are seen as pests, flying rats as a friend of mine calls them. Yet this man the poorest of the poor treats them with such kindness.
I was on a stroll, and I saw a man collapse and fall against the ground banging his head, a crowd suddenly gathered round him. I went over to see if there would be a photo opportunity.
When I was looking around right behind this scene of chaos, this man was just in the corner of a side street feeding these pigeons with bread crumbs straight out of his hands. He was talking to them with genuine care.
Out of the few shots I took I choose this one, as although the other pics had more dramatic birds in motion, if you look closely at the two birds on his hand and shoulder they are beak to beak as if they’re kissing. As he looks down with affection.
A few seconds after I took this photo he threw the bread crumbs into the air, and walked away. I might submit the shot I took of all the pigeons flying into the sky.
Very nice. Street photography is awesome, and you're one of my favourite pure street photographers out there. The fast film once again gives it that extra touch often missing in today's excellent high-ISO performers

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
