      Hi, Franco I hope ok used two of your wonderful homeless portraits in a small video on my homepage, we are four people in a band who have given the last month to create a media event around the growing number of homeless people sleeping on the streets of Copenhagen, the event includes a concert with five bands and "sale" of the single Homeless, all monies uncut goes to the Homeless organisations who are trying to create shelters in the freezing cold city tonight and every night. It is such a disgrace we spent billions on the Climate Conference but we cannot even give these people a bed. If you want, you can check the webpage: druidink.dk/BoWrite.htm

      I do a lot of volunteer work in SF, helping those who truly need help.

      The "homeless" thugs in the Haight, though - they need to go.

      Please let me know if you would prefer the credit to be under a different name and whether you require your original photo caption to be used, as I may have changed it to match the article’s content.

      I agree with CK - too many handouts. Mostly it seems to be religous groups that are handing out food and clothing and other things to the homeless. These people say they are doing God's work, but what they are doing is being the most effective enablers on Earth.

      I have a homeless relative who says that he doesn't want to work, and it is easy not to because he is given everything he needs. He has total freedom and nobody to answer to. He is young, able bodied, intelligent, talented, and...... lazy. Thanks Church people for enabling him and helping him live his lazy dream! I think he should be ashamed of himself, but they just tell him that God loves him.

      I lived @ Haight & Central from 1977-83 and it was a lot more destitute. I was the same age as these kids, knew some of them and never had the slightest inclination to join them. Really sad.

      Love that expression. I lived @ 1327 Haight from 1977-83 and the scene was much the same w/o the shops n' such, just boarded up storefronts & bars. Upon my rt visits it seems a bit better.

      Mr. Folini,
      I noticed your response to ibbetania. I want to use this photo on a project website: whosoutthere.wordpress.com/.
      I plan to crop it a bit to bring the woman closer. Please let me know if this is not ok with you.
      Thank you,
      Vaughn McIlrath

      : Do we really need to involve god in this? If god exists and is our friend, why is watching those people suffering while destroying their lives without doing anything? We can live without this kind of friends.
