About Street Portraits, day fifteen of 30. Do you feel sorry for them?

Some of the people have hit rock bottom, and begun to dig.  Some people exist mentally on a different plain than the rest of the world. Some people have gotten caught up in life and it hasn’t worked out for them. Some people have made choices.  Some people are in the results of others choices. Some you could say are just regular folks. Talking and taking their photography; I do (a little word jumble here) have empathy but maybe not sympathy. I think almost everyone who’s been a live for a pinch has experienced or known someone who has going through these things. To photography people reasonably well, it seems like there has to be something to relate to. To be sure, some of these people are have traits that you wouldn’t like. You hear it in their words, see it in the ink on their skin, can tell by their scars. Some of the people are very kind and nice. You can see it their eyes, the way they stand and how they move.  The one key thing: they’re all human. This photo was takin in 25 April 2021. Something interesting about this photo: the CVS in the background is boarded up.  In April 2021, the Chauvin verdict was due, and the city was in a state of preparation based on what happened nearly a year earlier. Some times these people are in the middle of these skirmishes.
