what is real?

Quick simple question. What do you see here?

Assuming you have thought about it for a second, what impression have you formed about this photo? Is it a creepy old guy staring at a child? Is it Gandalf in a biker jacket with a hobbit child? Well, let me inform you of what it really is. This is actually a group helping the poor/homeless in a community. Essentially a group of volunteers created a organization that would donate and provide goods/essentials/food to the poor and homeless in the community for free. This man was a volunteer who was rather nice and humorous. He was actually playing with the child and entertaining them that evening and not long after this photo gave her a a piece of candy. Sometimes things we see are not what they seem. Context is everything.

okay.

Excellent write!

My first impression was a man concerned about a child. Sounds like I wasn't too far off.

Being a long-haired hippy myself, I know guys like this are often the best sort to hang around.

you were actually right. The child was one of the disadvantaged being helped.
