I asked this homeless man for his portrait, it took him a moment to understand what I meant but agreed excitedly. He was walking his dogs and I asked him how many he had, he said he didn’t know, but insisted I got them in the back ground, by the time he had got him self sorted the dogs had vanished and in his frustration said "Agh fuck it, I'm a lonely bastard any way, Dags or nay dags"

    The story is sad as I imagine his problems and take in his comment while looking into his eyes. Great capture full of emotion.

    Tragic, beautiful, you've captured the vacancy and not just his despair but helplessness...thank you for taking the time.
