It is so sad to see here especially when there are alternatives for them. They don't want to use the shelters. There are too many rules, some are too delusional from mental illness or drugged to seek the shelters. Sad all around.

Looks like santa is on his own little private shopping spree! :-)

Great shot. Yeah you're right. I guess it will always suck living on the street but especially this time of year it must be hard. Now everybodys getting together with their loved ones and spending a load on gifts for everyone. Not to justify but at least the holidays have tradition for opening peoples haerts to help those less fortunate.

Actually, kind of a heart rending scenario, but COLORFUL!

great shot (look like he's getting searched at first glance!)

can you imagine how hard it must be to fall asleep on cement? bet he was pissed at being woken up!

Powerful symbolic shot!
