This gentlemen survives on the generosity of passersby who appreciate his dedication to cleaning and hand polishing brass trim on the famous stars on Hollywood Boulevard.

When I look at this photo many thoughts and emotions run through my mind. Good photo Angelo It really speaks out.

Without the explanation I'm afraid that much would have been lost in this image as it's a little too far away to really make out what the fellow is doing. I'm actually o.k. with that and appreciate the accompaniment, though. Nice shot, Angelo.

Angelo,
that's pretty neat!
Too bad it needs an explanation (e.g. he's not polishing brass at the moment), but still very cool!

Angelo

hey guys thanks for the comments.

I offered up an explanation just to give you a sense of what I stumbled upon but by itself I think the image of a legless man sitting in the middle of a busy sidewalk is interesting.

Thanks for looking.

I took a look at this photo again really late last night. I to saw the legless man among all those that could walk. That's why it brought on so many emotions when I looked at it the first time.

As for the explanation you gave......some seem to think you needed to give one, but I think you just told what you saw and how you felt. Am I wrong in that assumption? When I look at a posted photo I don't read what the photographer writes or comments that have been made till after I look at the photo myself and see it for what I see in the photo. Am I weird doing it that way?

For a street photo I think you hit this one "dead on" in my opinion

His name is John. I photographed him a few years ago when I was in LA. He polishes the brass stars in the sidewalk on Hollywood Blvd.

Nice shot, but I agree, should be closer.
