Imagine no possessions

Homeless man with his belongings in shopping trolley.
They are living amongst us but not with us. They have their own world - their own space. Often by cruel fate but frequently by choice they live out of the shopping trolley as their base. Their private space moves with them wherever they go.
The trolley is the closet and apparently the back, removable part if often used as a grill.
In the lunch time crowd he is the colourful character and thus the selective colouring technique. Notice how all the people in the frame as walking away from the center. (click the thumbnail or the link for full photograph)

I use to be on the streets 14-15 years ago. However, I had it better than many... I lived in my cars and I had a job.
When this country (USA) economically falls apart, I guess I'll be in my cars again, or in a tent. Life is hard, even when it's at it's best.
Nice shot. I like the color for the man and the b/w for those behind him. Maybe some people like that - that have nothing, have more color in
their hearts than those that have everything.

I know this has been discussed on many occasions but I refuse to accept people chose to live like that.
This man was aware I was taking a photo of him. He did not object or approve - like I did not exist for him.
