    The black and white really adds to the darkness of the emotion...

    I love this. It tells such a story, and the story is probably different to each one of us based on our life experience. Such a dapper man. Really great, evocative shot James. Kathy

    One can almost wonder if you went back to the Great Depression to catch this... or with 10% unemployment, are we in another great depression?

    Very cool. It really is a manikin, right? Very clever on store owner's part as well as yours.

    Sad, but beautyful picture!
    the way the man is dressed, a little out of time, makes the scene looks like a 50 or 60ies one..

    He has so cool and clean clothes, which is a nice contrast to the surroundings. He must be a jazz man.

    This is a beautiful picture James and says so much about what is happening to many people in these difficult economic times.

    He does a proper appearance.

    A difference with the expression stirs my imagination.

    It is a very wonderful work.

    A great shot for black and white. He's all dressed up with no place to go.

    It really could have been taken in the 30s.

    James, stop on over to Katney's Kaboodle where there is a surprise for you.

    Neat shot James. It's all about the human condition. Ever see the Family of Man book? Great collection of photographs that explore the human condition.
