The Kinks - Sitting In The Midday Sun
_____________________________________________
Everybody thinks I'm crazy,
And everybody says I'm dumb,
But when I see the people shouting at each other
I'd rather be an out of work bum.

Dedicated to Hassane an excellent photographer and a truly soulful person...thanks dude

This gentleman is one of the many that seek some inside warmth from the bitter cold streets of New York during winter months. He was standing near a NBC New York TV news station advertisement of their weatherman "singing in the rain". Certainly comfortable with his success and that he has a job...no doubt. But for many is the bitter reality of not being as blessed with economic achievement. They seemingly have so little and care even less about how the world sees them. I'm not certain if they even see themselves anymore. Like this gentleman who was half dressed and trying desperately to light a cigarette, perhaps his only current possession besides the clothes on his back, with the last match in the book in a room full of commuters all rushing to climb the ladder of prosperity.

Photographed with Tri-X 400 Kodak film using a Nikon F5 and a 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor lens.
