Darker stuff

These are some the images that I found slightly disturbing..

The China man
He was on the corner of a busy street kneeling, pitched forward so that the rest of his body was only supported by his right hand jammed into an oversized peanut butter jar. His eyes screwed up tight and his body completely motionless. It looked like he was caught in a freeze frame, that he ought to topple over, or something should happen next. It was 4:30 in the afternoon. I would have sworn he was dead.

While walking down a fashionable boulevard I spot a pretty girl with long chestnut hair and big eyes staring into the distance. Her eyes matched the colour of the frapacino coffee that she nonchantly drank from a straw, having taken it from the garbage bin.

There are sexless figures, that have their cellophane skin stretched tight over withered bone and sinew. Their white skin stands out harsh against the dark concrete and asphalt streets, like a living negative.They are really creepy, drugs I guess?

On the overnight bus two guys, shaven heads, wrap around shades, vest T, tattoos. They are up beat, chattering freely, having been released from prison that day. One guy has the same winged tattoo as David Beckham on the back of his neck, except in the middle is a circle containing a red swastika. Slept well on the overnight bus.
