That is a powerful image. Sad, but also very stoic. I am contrasting it with the previous article about the St. John the Divine (which I have seen many times when I was in NY).
I hope he's feeling better than he looks, he seems to have the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Hi, Sandy! How''s things? I'm still getting used to this new and wonderful life. I still am having trouble writing haiku for OSI, tho. But it'll come back.
Your photo is so sad. He looks so lonely and forgotten. It's a beautiful study in urban life.
