Almost every city I’ve ventured to, I can’t help but notice the homeless, a static fabric of society often not paid attention to. We make assumptions on the condition of their state based on what we see. And for some of us a small donation is our courtesy, for the rest it is a blank stare as we walk away worrying about our lives.
Compared to previous photographic outings, the last one I went for in Kuala Lumpur had me in some sort transition in terms of photographic objectives. Instead of getting the postcard type photos that is the norm, I started observing people and their daily lives. As I peeled the layers of this city, observing the contents, I started noticing and thinking about homeless people. I only managed three photos because it does take some sort of courage to photograph an intimidating subject (especially in the bottom left photo).
