Oli Johnson, 10 months ago

wow. powerful image. really interesting shot.
maka1967, 10 months ago

thanks, everyone. the thing most saddens me is people’s indifference to others’ suffering.
Martin Derksema, 10 months ago

An image with a lot of impact. You are a great observer and you managed to catch a very special moment here. Very well executed. I love the vagueness of the cityscape and the warm light. Also like the halo around his head.

Deborah Parkin, 10 months ago

a very moving and thought-provoking image – nice work!!
Ellie Winds, 10 months ago

very impactful, zhao. please keep sharing these. there is a disconnect out there that we all need to somehow ‘connect’ and without knowledge we can’t do it.

Zhao, probably your very best work to date, it is so emotive and indicative of the worldwide condition, known in the UK as “I’m alright, Jack”. Basically, as long as I am OK, no one else really matters. Great work, my friend
Amy Hing-Young, 10 months ago

Congrats! An extremely powerful shot, well captured, well framed, lots of strong and subtle emotion coming through.
maka1967, 10 months ago

thanks, everyone! This photo is a tribute to William Eugene Smith, who’s “The Walk to Paradise Garden” I saw as a teenager.

Sadly, she won’t be the last to walk on past with just a glance.

madvlad, 10 months ago

when we were small, we were told, when we saw some one less fortunate, there, but for the grace of god, go i, so yes ,we need to look around and then know our own life and its blessing of this minute, because all could change in a eye blink, good photo, of life,s realitys

Wow, great timing. The look in that woman’s face!
Melissa Contreras, 8 months ago

Very strong image, the disgust in the womans face saddens me, we are all equal.
AuntieJ, 8 months ago

I hate to be cliche, but… “A picture is worth a thousand words”. This isn’t much about this photo that isn’t perfect- the lighting, the focus, the capture of the emotion on woman’s face, the halo around the head. So much symbolism in a shot of every day life. The darker lighting and the busy street traffic converys the person’s struggle to make their way through the city (and life). As a person who worked with the handicapped for many years, I saw this same reaction too many times. People are so arogant; it could happen to anyone. All it takes is 1 accident or illness. I’m so glad you were given the change to catch this shot.
pinkyjain, 8 months ago

This is a wonderful photo, really captures the almost disgust on the woman’s face. Does she think the person likes being with only one leg. Your so right, its amazing how indifferent & insensitive people can be to one another. Great photo, & Congrats for being Featured on the Home page
Barssel, 8 months ago

Powerful and confronting….......great capture, well done.
avatar25, 6 months ago

it’s sad… it shows what life is all about… some people got nothin to eat and some people still complains though they have food on their plates….

Mahjabeen Mankani, 4 months ago

AWESOME! so sad. very expressive and strong impact
stevendesiow, 4 months ago

Very meaningful and very nice capture. Yes nowaday many people, especially those living in the urban area, are quite distant to stanger but luckily there are few groups of people from various charity organisation such as Red Cross, World Vision, Tzu Chi (http://www.tzuchi.org.tw/) etc who are willing to offer their help all time. Lucky to be part of them.

wow the world so so unbalance , i love this shot very much

Thank you so much, Nith, for your encouragement. There are sad stories in reality. But we are powerless artists. That’s perhaps what we can do for the unfortunate.
