Another stolen shot, of one of the many beggars on the downtown streets. Hard to tell quite how old he is, since, if he's been living rough, he might look much older than his actual calendar age. But he looks to be in his 60s, at least, so one of the early baby boomers. Two packs, and maybe a third just visible at the lower right, comprising his whole "house." The cigarette is a filtered one, and fresh, so he's enough money for coffee and cigs. Nicotine stained moustache, and a beard most likely because his chances of being able to shave on a regular basis are slim, thus, making a virtue of necessity. He didn't make eye contact, or ask for anything, but just kept along on his own line. I always wonder what pathway leads guys like this to end up on the streets, but suspect it is usually nothing very interesting or romantic, but simply drugs and alcohol abuse. As they say at AA, the job is always the last thing to go.
