Street Photography - Whatever it Takes

in photography •  6 years ago 

I'll do anything


Desperation, despair, poverty, responsibility. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Some people are strong, tenacious, enduring, hanging on with every last bit of breath in their bodies. Courageous, fearless and good.

I see a street vendor tenaciously trying to make a sale, courageously digging himself out of the dreadful pit life threw him in. Not relying on others but making a future for himself, doing whatever it takes to make ends meet. He's the real hero!


Tough


There are too many sheepish people in this world relying on others to care for them and tend to their every need. Victims, taking everything for granted and expecting everything from everyone. Toughen up, do whatever it takes!

The gentleman in your photo looks to be in control of his situation!

É stressato... dalla vita e dalla polizia che potrebbe fermarlo...
Complimenti per la foto ben riuscita! :-D

Esatto, sembra molto cauto!

Ecco cauto é la giusta espressione :-D

What do you see in this picture?

A person happy enough with their life.

Are you struggling?

No

Are you doing whatever it takes?

No, but then my response to that question is "whatever it takes for what?"

I do not feel a victim of anything and there is nothing I want so much that I feel I need to do whatever it takes to get it. 😁

I’m glad you don’t feel victimized. I meant more in the sense of people struggling financially and being willing to do all kinds of jobs to support their families for example. Thanks for answering all my questions by the way, you always do ;)

I don't think I'd be a victim in that situation either @peter-parker but I wouldn't be happy that's for sure and I probably would moan about it.

Whereas my partner would just get any job and get on with it without complaining. 😁

Excellent shot along with great words too thanks for sharing and nice to see your post again :) keep sharing

Thanks

@peter-parker I must admit that u have very skillful hands...
Behind every picture there is always a story within! the motive behind this picture also is very clear. Keep it up mate.. Followed you. I also do photography posts and love to watch others clicks.
