I could have framed this a little better, but really wish I had a wider angle lens...

Homeless guy that sleeps in Centennial Park in Downtown Fort Myers, FL. 9/30/07. I just got the Nikon 55-200 mm F/4 5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR Zoom lens and I am loving it! Now i'm saving up for the Nikon 105mm micro VR!

Wow, you go away for a while, and the bar gets raised!
Thought it about time I posted something. I've been lacking inspiration, just lately, but saw this, and thought I'd see how it came out.
D80 + faulty, and soon to be returned 105VR
1/60 @ f/16

Redrabbit, great photo and B&W conversion. The tonality is great.

This is not a thread for discussion of which camera to buy. Run a search and you will find all kinds of threads on this very topic, with more questions, answers and comments than you could possibly imagine. Run a search....

It might just be me, but I find it rude to shoot homeless people like this, without asking permission. They cannot help the situation they're in, and I really hate photogs who exploit that.
I've seen plenty of photos of homeless people that are intimate and do not look like wildlife shots. I think you should consider getting to know your subject, especially in this situation.
Anyway, on another note, I'm doing more with film now.
Canon Elan 7E with EF 17-40 f/4L
Kodak Portra 400VC film

I completley agree and wanted to say something like that. The photog should have approached him, talked to him, got to know his situation, and then asked if you could shoot his photo. That way, you treat him like a human being, and you add a bit of quality to your photo when you can explain to other people that person's situation.
I suggest you read this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Poor-People-William-T-Vollmann/dp/0060878827
Poor People, by William Vollman. He travels the world and asks lowerclass people he meets why they are poor and to help explain their situations. There are also some stunning photographs with all of the stories. Great photojournalism and social documentary making.
Just my two cents
To Seenew and Redrabbit. I live in the downtown area, and see this man often. I did approach him and ask if I could take his picture, and I gave him $10 dollars. He happily said yes. So I walked around for a bit took some pictures and saw him 30 min later, and took his picture. I often give him money and food. I understand what you are saying, but I did do it with his permission.
