I took the picture on the left of a homeless man lighting a cigarette at Rittenhouse square, and wanted to find more pictures depicting the hardships of homeless life. I found the picture on the right (By Michael Nagle, TIME.com, 4/8/2011) that explores a similar narrative. What I think is most striking about Nagle's picture is the incorporation of a person's shadow, which I assumed coud be the person who is residing at this encampment. With this, a very human element is added to the homeless, an element that most of us are taught to ignore of the homeless at a very young age.
