THE LAST WALTZ
NO LOGO FOR THE HOMELESS
Image by Christine Renney 2015
I took this photo on arriving at Southend and on our return to the car this young man was still in the same place. It was New Year’s Eve and absolutely freezing. I had a chat with him – he told me that he had been homeless for some time following falling into arrears with his rent. He admitted that he had not been as responsible as he should have been. However, I have been irresponsible many times but am fortunate enough to have had a strong safety net around me. Clearly he has not.
ON THE PERIPHERY
This gentleman sat alone and I saw no-one approach him. There is something vulnerable about him. He is seated outside the Town Library. The bench next to him was full of young people and he spent some time watching them. It tugged at my heart.
