PEOPLE I MEET: PAPPY IN HIS DRESSING GOWN



This image should be called, People I lacked the courage to meet. I saw this elderly man sitting by himself reading the paper, outside a dodgy hotel. Just after I took the image ours eyes meet and his were filled with such sadness and loneliness. I nodded, yet lacked the courage to go and talk to him. I often wonder why his soul seemed to be filled with so much pain. 

Dear Pappy in the Dressing Gown,
I am sorry for taking your photo, yet not going over to talk to you. I do hope you found something that made you smile
Julie.
