This is a photo I took of two homeless men down by Lake Michigan. The man on the right had found some discarded food and was trying to build a fire to warm it. It was freezing outside and very, very windy so he wasn't having much luck. The man on the left stopped to chat a bit and then walked up to me asking for change. Apparently, the man with the food was unwilling to share his meal.
I took this when I had just started out in photography with my Rebel and kit lens. It was so cold outside that I was shaking uncontrollably and the photo is quite blurry! It was taken in .jpeg and then edited afterwards, I had no clue what RAW was all about at that point! I suppose it isn't exactly the best photo to submit for an assignment but it is a shot that made me discover the power of street photography!
