This is a homeless man I saw in Liverpool Street.. I was on my way home from the release of a pair of new shoes, and was taking some photo's of possible things I could upload onto flickr, and came across a homeless man, peacefully thinking, or asleep perhaps.

For a minute or two, I stood there watching him. Wondering what was on his mind, how did he get to this point in his life, is he happy, does he have any children, what is his name etc.

As I pointed my camera towards him, I could see one eye open. I could tell he was awake, but there was a hawthorn affect as he knew I was taking photos and played up towards the camera. At this point, I didn't know whether he was going to suddenly jump up, and charge at me, so I took a couple shots of him, and thought that this was the best one by far.

This is my first photo of the many homeless people in and around London, and without a doubt, one of the less shocking cases of homeless people in London. I don't know whether I should continue shooting homeless people, because I know I wouldn't particularly be in favour of someone taking a photo of me in that situation, so next time I think I might just ask permission.

Seeing things like this, just reminds me how lucky I am.

What's up fellow Whoringtons and readers! I'm the latest recruit to the blog, after being asked to join along by Kevin. If you guys don't know much about me, (as I presume you don't) I'm probably the baby of the contributors as I'm a college student in London, with hobbies ranging from photography, and fixed gear riding. I've always had a creative mind, so I thought I'd express it through photographs, which will hold the majority of my contribution I guess...

Some photos I took yesterday in Brick lane and around Liverpool street after we wrapped the shoot. Trying to get back into photography again. Been a while and I'm a tad rusty.

First pic is on Oxford street though, not out east like the rest.
