Description
Nothing better... Than a new suit..Like autumn leaves his sense fell from him
An empty glass of himself shattered somewhere within
His thoughts like a hundred moths
Trapped in a lampshade
Somewhere within
Their wings banging and burning
On through endless night
Forever awake he lies shaking and starving
Praying for someone to turn off the light
- Born of a broken man, Rage Against the machine

A man, who wants money to buy the suit behind him.
He sits there every day -the EXACT same spot as if to remind him of what he's working towards.
His only problem: He is a drug addict.

What a nice composition and ironic message...
The (apparently) poor man is right next to a brand new suit, not looking at it, but looking to see if someone's paying attention, maybe he plans to steal it!

his facial expression makes the viewer speechless actually...
he looks a little witty to the clothing... may be kidding with our obsession with trends, fashion and clothing... he is more free than those who wear "better" than him may be; we are much bounded by artificial trends and manners...

I hope you've at least heard of Heidi? You know, girl loses her parents, goes to live with her grumpy old grandfather, grandfather softens up and then sends her to the city to go to school. Eventually they get back together again, and Heidi and Peter, who used to herd sheep together in the Swiss Alps finally fall in love. It's a classic, really.

This is really great work, the way you captured the feelings of the poor man. I mean poor economically. Well, most probably poor in other ways too actually. He reminds me of an old man I used to see in the street, but he was such a happy guy! He reminded me a bit of Santa Claus!
I get two stories out of this: one that the clothes are a reminder of who he used to be - young, rich, handsome. The other is that this is what he's thinking of, that he may not have many things but he does not want to be seen like just a poor man. He wants to be dressed decently. I'm sorry, my English is not that good to express myself further!

an absolutely amazing caught moment....the placement, expression, persona, and to top it all off the new outfit is shining in the department store window. once in a lifetime we dream of such a setup to unfold infront of us.
