20th Street-Brooklyn, March 15, 2014, Cristian Calle.
This photograph was taken by me on March 15, 2014. As I was heading out of my parents’ apartment to take a walk at prospect park with a relative that was visiting , I noticed that there was a elder man scrabbling in the dumpsters located outside of the building I live. He was collecting any kind of objects for recycling. It was afternoon, and the sun was at its peak, shining all the way. I shot this photograph from the upper side of the street. As it is shown in the photograph, there are cars’ shadows from left to right and all the way down the street. The reason this photograph was taken is because I wanted to show the reality of some people, and what they have to go through every day just to earn some money, so they can have a living, and also because he did not mind me taking the photograph at all.
