Homeless in St. Augustine



A quick, impromptu road-trip to St. Augustine spurred this shot of a homeless man I encountered there.  As he lay outstretched  on a bench in the alley, I found his unsolicited pose quite tranquil.  The sun was setting in the direction of his gaze, and I wondered where his thoughts had traveled to.  I did not want to disturb him, or his thoughts, or this moment because I feared it may be a while before he had another.  So, I held my camera casually at my side and surreptitiously snapped this shot as I walked by.  It has proven to be one of my very favorites I have ever taken...
