Asleep on a benchPosted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 21 November 2010 in People & Portrait. Another shot in my series of people on the street in manhattan, seeing people sleeping on the street like this makes one appreciate what they have and ones personal worries seem a lot less Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it IF you see yourself in any of my people on the street shots and want it to be removed please contact me and I will remove it straight away
