I think images of people can tell stories about them and their situations in life. If the image is made in a certain way, we can learn a lot about their lives. I like nothing more than walking around the streets of a city or town asking interesting looking people in interesting (and sometimes tragic and heart-rending) circumstances if I can take their photograph. If that person is homeless or asking for money, I always give them some dollar bills, whether they agree to let me take their picture or not. I am particularly struck by those street people who have hand-written signs describing their plight, something I call “signs of despair”.
