The Meditating Man: Damaged Feet

Posted by DAVE ID (Montreal, Canada) on 18 September 2007 in People & Portrait.

I was walking in Parc Lafontaine in Montreal and I saw this homeless man meditating near the water.

His feet were badly damaged and he had no footwear near his person.

@Christelle: Thanks I like it also. But I want to do artistic work also. Even though I love the pictures I've done here with this homeless man.

It is a wonderful picture but a very sad story.

Powerful. Moving. This is so emotive. Actually, I'm struggling to find words that adequately convey how brilliant this image is. Thanks also for the brief caption as it adds to the overall appeal of this already sensational image. Congratulations. :)

@Sashimi Bhoy: I didn't think it was that intense. Thanks for the compliment.
