- I used to be a P.I., so my camera work came to me with no problem. I photograph people and things mostly street situations.I am all over the map with my photos.Things that are old in appearance with some history attached would be something that I would stop for and photograph.

This photo, I took of this old gentleman, was in Munich. He is one of a very few street people I observed on our tour of UK and Europe. I tried to speak to him but there was a language problem. He had a plate of water for his dog and there is a small plate for him (empty) so I dropped a bit of
change in and got a bit of a smile from him.
When my hubby was stationed in Germany he told me that there were never any street people b/c the government gave everyone a job, including menial tasks like street sweeping.
I always feel the sorriest for the animals though.
Times have changed since the reunification, I guess. Homelessness seems even worse when it's an older person. In this country the dogs are usually well-looked-after, and there are even vets who go and check them over.
Thanks for the comments. Compared to the mess we have in the Canadian cities, there were very few homeless people that I saw in the Uk and Europe.
