Step up

I didn't want to invade this gentleman's privacy by taking this photograph without his permission first. But the cold hard brutality of his predicament wouldn't let me go by without taking this memory home with me of the neighbourhood of Cabbage Town in Toronto, Canada.

Many of his fellow homeless persons became our friends during our stay as we walked by them, and we became acquainted to their habits and haunts, but alas not their names.

The incredible large number of homeless people hit me with a shocking force upon my first visit to Canada. This was taken just over a month ago on my second visit to Canada.
