Steve Roter's photos

Spider

My new homeless friend. It has been quite a while since I've asked for a one on one with a street person. I am usually with my longtime photography student Hélène, when I do street photography she is brave and breaks the ice .. She was busy that day. I wasn't going to ask the fellow cause I'm basically a shy guy, but I forced myself to approach him. He was pan handling down the line of cars at a stop light. I waved him over. We got into a conversation, I offered him 5 dollars for 5 mins of his time. ( first time I offered money for a pic) I asked him to remove his sun glasses. He told me he was 50 yrs. old and 20 yrs on the street. Hard to believe he looks too good. He said he was a pro at it living on the street. I used my 300mm lens.
