Monochrome Monday on the streets
This is a post for Monochrome Monday hosted by @old-guy-photos, and for this week I will share some street shots taken on my walks around Manhattan.

This first shot is one of the park sin the city, and sadly it is quite a common site to see people sleeping on the streets in Manhattan.
I do so feel for people like this sleeping on a bench and all their possessions in a shopping cart, I seldom give to those begging on the streets as so many of them are doing it to make some money and are not really in a desperate situation, I know you can never be 100% sure which are scammers and which are professional beggars.
however often when I see one like this if there is a deli nearbyI will grab a drink and a sandwich and come back and leave it there for them when they wake up and hope it is still there when they awake and appreciate it.

And this second shot of this guy who just seemed a real character to me, he was clearly a worker for some construction going on nearby.

Looks like I'm on the past! Hehehe... It reminds me of my past when I was a kid. (^_^)
Mono edits seem to have that effect for me as well :)
mono and homeless together make me think of depression era WPA photos. second and third are great street shots.
Yes its sad to see this in todays age
Great shots JJ, I love the look on the construction workers face, too funny.
Thanks he struck me as such a character :)
It's hard to take it all in sometimes.
I've never lived in luxury, but I've always had enough. Seeing people in a sad human condition makes me feel very rich.
People are funny. You never know what you'll come up with while doing a little people watching.
Great photos.
Thanks I am about the same never lived luxuriously but also never really struggled, seeing people sleeping on the street does make me appreciate what I have
