[Leica] photographing the homeless

Reading what you and Adam have written, it surely cannot be any surprise 
whatsoever that it is said that Americans think irony is a foreign language.

Bravo Adam! I also found myself wondering why anyone should listen to this 
guy and his rules! Who made this guy the philosopher king of photography?

   Let's see, from reading the LUG for a while, I see it is ok to fly to 
remote parts 
of the world and photograph the poverty but it is not ok to photograph the 
poverty under your own nose, in your own country. Ah, I get it now. We 
wouldn't 
want our politicians to be held responsible for their lack of policies to 
alleviate 
homelessness or for other people to be forced to see how many people in this 
country live in poverty, without access to decent housing or health care.

  I find it interesting that Omar gets alienated more and more by the 
community, 
probably forcing him further into desperate circumstances. Maybe the policy 
should be "Some Omar" instead of "No Omar"! Maybe a nice lawyer should file 
a 
lawsuit on Omar's behalf for being denied service by these establishments!

  I think all people are tolerable in small doses, probably even this Kyle 
guy. 
Maybe.
