About	Found this homeless guy pouring the water out of a water bottle that he will recycle for money. You can see where he poured the water along the curb at the bottom of the picture. On the left side of the picture you can see part of his shopping cart that is overflowing with bags of plastic, glass and aluminum cans and bottles that he collects out of trash cans, that is why he is so dirty. What you don't see is all of the bottles that he has lined up that need to be emptied. And the ironic part of all this is that he is in front of a fitness center.

Real life deeply felt by the photographer...
I remind mi this Thought of the Meister Eckhart:"You may call God love, you may call goodness.But the best is compassion".
Congratulations, Clay

Ironic indeed.Excellent capture and about Clay.There is an old saying ( in UK anyway ) " where theres muck theres money" It would appear that in this day and age, that where theres money theres muck.A sad sign of the times.
Best regards.

Im happy that the man can find so many bottles and survive. Without the poor people the cities would be less clean.
Good guy and great photo.
Bravo
