Description
The valleys in his hands were seamed with grit and earth. The brims of his nails worn from endless days of weather and erosion. Further up, his arm tattooed, a faded remnant of more youthful and vigorous years. His life has somehow become a struggle on the margins of human nature. Social interaction has been reduced to a bargaining tool. His only tool. And oh, a cigarette... now this is a good day.Jimmy
One of the many homeless in Philadelphia.

How odd that fresh clean cigarette looks in his old worn hand.

True. How the more disturbing, that a man can reach the level where he looks odd holding something so filthy as a clean cigarette.

I'm sitting here trying to find a word to describe this and I'm finding nothing. Beautiful is underrated and I can not think of anything powerful enough for this picture. A very deserving
