Drunks in Anchorage

I took this shot in the early 80's on 4th Street in Anchorage, Alaska when i lived there. This was taken with an Olympis OM10 film camera. I scanned it from the original picture so the quality is not that great. The guy with his arm in the air was asleep like that.

I really like this. You captured life at levels many people ignore.

Drunks eh, if they aren't bending over backwards on a park bench practicing Hatha Yoga their getting tuned into Kung-Fu.

A near perfect example of 'The Directional Crane' (Change of speed, direction and height) on the left and a great display of a Tigers hand on the right...



Nice shot.

The Shaolin Kung Fu Crane Stylist
The Crane stylist prefers a harmonious environment and would sooner walk away from a conflict than even consider partaking in it. The Crane Stylist is a dancer, the most beautiful mover of all the Shaolin Animals. It's forms a beautiful, graceful and full of elegance. All though all movements, each turn and hop, each pause have a meaning, often a Crane stylists practice of form will look more like a dance. They are very light on their feet and can be mistaken for Ballet Dancers at the highest level


Liang-I Shaolin Kung Fu Tiger Forms
Forms are an important aspect of any style. In centuries gone by, a form would be the style; contain all the techniques, strategies and movements. Shaolin Kung Fu with it's 1000 years of development has outgrown the one form one principle simplicity.

Your photo caught the sadness of reality for those who have little.

I love the photo and the quote goes great with it.

But it reminds me of those poster things that they put up in high schools with a photo and some words like "Inspiration". Its really corny and no one looks at those annoying things anymore. But yours isnt like that, it just reminds me of one of them lol.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Thanks ya all. The more I look at it the more I like the roughness of the processing. I kinda fits the subject.
