I have been homeless at several points in my life. Contrary to popular belief, most homeless did not become so out of choice and not because they are lazy, stupid, or immoral. Many homeless people are victims of abuse in the form of neglect and abandonment by their parents or other caregivers. Some of them are simply victims of life’s tragedies, such as hurricanes, fires, or other catastrophes from which they simply don’t have the resources to recover. I invite you to my blog devoted to raising awareness on homelessness: http://www.freethegods.com. There you will find an article I wrote on homelessness and pictures I have taken of homeless people. I always give them a dollar or two for the privilege of photographing them. I am often surprised by their cheerfulness and sense of pride. Often, they will show themselves to have some kind of talent. There is a fine line between genius and insanity.

Hey Thanks a million for your comment Dave!!! I saw your blog and the photo gallery is very interesting. What you say about the homeless is true and when you reflect on it they were not born homeless and they do have families. There are many who have simply given up on SOCIETY and when you look around can you blame them!!! Look at the current state of affairs where the merchants and corporation get a slap on the wrist for their wrong doing while homeless people are being beaten and killed. It remindss me very much of the times of LES MISÉRABLES or The Grapes of Wrath. I will be putting a link to your blog on mine.
