One of the most resonant things about this picture is that one little boy is clinging to the other's back-pack strap, and the taller boy has a hand settled so gently under the shorter boy's chin and his other hand curled behind his neck.  It's like they're frightened they'll lose each other if they let go.

This is the second time I've reblogged it but it just gets to me

"Hey man, take my picture!"

"I can't do it. It's too dark."

"Yeah, we need some light. Let's go over there."

"Are you homeless?"

"Yes, I am."

"How long have you been homeless?"

"15 years. I've been in Boston 8 months. Before that I was in Washington, Virginia, New York, Philadelphia, Louisiana, Florida…"

"Why didn't you stay in Florida? It's so much warmer."

"I wanted to see my family. But they don't want to see me. They don't understand depression. They treat me like dirt. Homeless people treat me better than my family."

"And what happened 15 years ago? How did you end up on the streets?"

"I tried to burn myself twice. I had 30 surgeries. I was dead two times, but God brought me back. I don't know why."

"And why did you do it?"

"I was depressed. Why you crying?"

"Because you are a beautiful person, and my family is really messed up, and I've been very depressed. I think I can understand you."

"Yes, I am a good person. And when you take people's pictures, don't disrespect them."

"No, man, I won't. I like people. That's why I take their pictures."

"And when you make your portfolio, don't denigrate people. Let the pictures speak for themselves."

"I will. Are you safe on the streets?"

"Yes, I am…And now I have $8 to buy me some food."

"That's all I have. Next time I see you, I will give you more."

"No, man. It ain't all about money. Give me a hug. And next time you see me, give me a hug again. And thanks for taking my picture."

I hope to see this man around Boston sometime. Surely I'll do nice for him :') this is touching
