Everybody's got a story to tell.

As i walked down boscombe high street i went into a charity shop and their was a rather ill man in there asking to buy VHS. this man was obviously mentally ill and i felt abit uncomfortable as he seemed rather anxious but i wasnt to make a deal out of it and i let him get on. yet i know there were other people mocking him for who he was and how he had a disability. i left the shop and felt terrible how i had slightly judged this man on who he was and felt uncomfortable for his actions around me.

It wasnt until a few hours after this though that i saw him again, this time bent over a large sketchbook and curiously caught a look at his book. his artwork was some of the most amazing pictures i had seen. brilliant colours and really truly inspiring. the way the colours were so vibrant shows how we all see the world in different ways.

i took this picture of him because i felt this moment of my life had to be captured.

We should never judge someone on how they are in society and we should always appreciate people for who they are, even though we may not understand them. If i ever bump into this man again, i feel i'd have to tell him how great his pictures are too!

peace and love 2012.
