Street photography - The Begger, Prague.

I heard that this friday is the #streetphotography with @photocontests, so this is my contribution...

One of my first street photography, taken in Prague.

This picture questioned what kind of photographer (amateur) I wanted to be.
Photo-journalist? Art photographer? Probably somewhere between both...
I consider photographers as witnesses of our present, who capture and grave it into the rock.

I was walking near the castle of Prague, taking pictures of the wonderful view, as so many other tourists there. Then I looked down and saw this begger. And something hit me like a punch. Not a revelation, more like a feeling, a question... The geometry of the scene, this kind of sad and beautiful truth that popped in my eyes. I tried my best to capture this emotion, this loneliness, indifference.

Do you feel it ? I would be very curious.
