This street beggar has no arms or legs. He spends his time with cup in mouth waiting for money to flow his way. I've seen this same guy on the streets of Bangkok for years now. Sometimes he crawls on the sidewalk like a caterpillar pushing his cup along with his nose.

Another strong - and hard- shot about human unweave... So difficult life...So easy to forget.

@Still: No doubt it is a hard life. My heart bleeds for this guy. I give to him every time I see him.
Don't know what to say here.

@Martin: Probably not one of my better images.
Would love to see more focus on the guy.
It's just heart broken to read how you described his life.

I think you got the focus just right - it's symbolic of how most people see beggars. We don't make them a focus, do we?
