Description
When money is tossed
Humanity is lost
And production lines
Bring corporate crimes
Portfolios will thrive
At the cost of lives
But despite the shimmered glow
Of this sensational money show
You can see it's such a horrid thing
In the portrait of a human being

Jimmy
One of many homeless in Philadelphia, and around the world.

When you take an anthropological approach to a situation, and learn to study it from an individual level, you begin to realize that the problems in our world are indeed personal, not statistical. Hopefully this will explain the number of shots that I have submitted of this one man. You could spend weeks walking the streets of a city, finding how many people are sleeping on benches and sidewalks on a given night, and gather accounts of unemployment numbers, desperation street crimes and loitering instances, and come up with all the statistics in the world on homelessness. But you would never get the insight and understanding that spending an afternoon talking to one man will give you. I firmly believe that we must understand the psychology of the oppressed to truly understand the situation of the oppressed, and eventually solve it. It is the difference between understanding how big a problem is, and why a problem is.
