Photographer’s Note

Taken on the 59 tram. Through his mutterings to himself, I learnt that he had earned $60 from begging in the city throughout the day.

This is an excellent shot, showing that we have problems much closer to us. The POV is fantastic and I guess you did not look through the viewfinder. Congratulations.

Hi Brendan,

Hahaha, I immediately had to think about ET... ET Phone home...
60 a day! I have to consider to do this as a side-job :-).

Have you validated your metcard there? ;) I like that detail very much. Call me lunatic, but I like it. :) The moment itself is great. The proximity feeling is nice. I always like intimate moments when the subjects are completely absent from our presence.

I like the low point of view a lot here Brendan - an intimacy with the main subject and overcoming any distraction from the other players - I guess 60 dollars with few overheads is a reasonable catch in the sunshine!

Hi Brendan

You have really captured an interesting character here. I can hear him muttering to himself.
Very sharp with good color. Nice comp and I really like the low pov. Well done.
