Hope is Lost

[atnixon]

From a recent trip to London. I went down there working on a project and this image is going to be the book cover, hence why its left uncropped. I really wanted an image to show the true feeling of how the homeless in London feel. The sunken eyes, say so much on their own.

Andy, that is a haunting image. Great shot. Knowing your work, the others will be of similar quality so I am sure the project will be a success.

Thank you very much Alan and Stan, appreciate it. Alan, that's exactly what I wanted to create with this image. To really hit home what its like for them, how they feel, how they are treated et al.

The project isn't just about the homeless, its going to be their individual stories, based on ex-soldiers, and how society is with them, what's not being done for them ( or not ).

I know images like this are not a lot of people's cup of tea, but, its good to portray all aspects of life.

Hey there Alex, many thanks mate, good of you too say. And thanks for the luck. All I intend to do with it is to raise some money for the homeless veterans and open peoples eyes.

Thanks very much indeed Tony. Its certainly all completely new to me, this type of photography, documentary and writing work. Really enjoying the project.
