 We sometimes think the homeless are somehow uneducated or mentally ill. This gentleman was neither. After striking up a conversation with him I came to realize the he was a devout Christian with a sad story of his past. I have never met anyone happier and friendlier as this man was. He truly loves others more than himself.

Seems to be lacking in some of the detail I would expect to see in such an image. Strong midday sun is tough to shoot in as well.

I think there's some more storyt to this man. Perhaps pulling back a bit in the view might tell us more.
