She Stays Near Hollywood and Vine



Says her name is Diana Ross

Homeless Guy by Pershing Square




********************

The sun is hot at Melrose and Vine, even in February




Close on Anguished Face




*******************
He Has a Great Spot Close to Transportation:



He used to stand all day behind a bus bench at the corner of Melrose and Vine.

*********************

He Could Be Your Brainy Uncle

SHE LIVES AT MELROSE & VINE
Close to transportation
In the alley behind the bus stop

************************

Do You Recognize Him?



He was outside the Oscars February 2009



*************************

This man I've seen a few times, on buses, he sits, takes up eight seats, people shove him and his things aside to take a seat. . .



********************
She Digs Through Trash for Lunch-

I see the woman below often when going to Civil West courthouse, Dept 308 where Elias sits- she wanders the blocks near Vermont and Sixth, digging through trash for food, perching in wait in doorways....

Another Pershing Square resident:



***************

Lenny Sits in front of Political Signs

And shabby rundown apartments that cost at least two thousand to move in, a thousand a month to live in.



Lenny, closer



Lenny, Closer



**************************

People wander day and night
The streets of L.A., all their earthly belongings in a rusty grocery cart



*********************

Across from Federal Courthouse
Downtown L.A., parks and green spots are populated by people with no visible means of hygenic toiletry...



********************

Snoozing
At Sunset and Normandie on an April 2009 afternoon



***************************
Yes, life goes
Onward...
