Isn't the framing of this photo a little bit off? It is. It's an easy thing to fix on Photoshop, but I chose not to, since the framing of it fits well with the content of the photo. I must say that I'm glad you, the reader, weren't standing where I was standing to take this shot so I wouldn't wake the old man up. The stench of his urine around the metro made the picture skewed as the camera shook in my hand. But I had to take the picture. The scene had a captivating irony about it: a homeless man with nowhere to go in between two luxurious cars owned by people who both had somewhere to go -- and there the homeless guy was, right in the middle. A natural composition. I hate the fact that I call it natural. Why is this natural?? Even more than what that says about him, what does it say about us...? About me? I'm still trying to grasp it....it's all so skewed.
