John Patrick

This is John Patrick who I met in Old Sacramento. He has been homeless for 20 years now and sleeps wherever he can find a soft spot to place his head...

    Poignant how he holds his arms...as if in protection

    A++++++ I feel like we (UNITED STATES) don't do enough for our own homeless people but we're quick to drop off bags of food to 3rd world counties after they have a disaster. So sad!

    Body language speaks volumes! "Don't intrude too much into my space - I'm protective of it!"

    Again, these are great candid street shots -and I do like that you bothered to get contact with them. Brava for that.
