Wow, really strong images. You give a feeling of Toronto that I for one am not familiar with. Nice work. Has the situation changed at all since the time these where taken?

Impressive selection of shocking street photographs.

By the way, I'd like to explain that it wasn't necessary to make only ONE thread with all pictures in it... the concept that I described was to avoid, if possible, to post 10 different threads for showing 10 pictures... for simple browsing manageability reason... but this does not mean by any way that only one thread must exist. You could have made for instance one thread dedicated to the homeless people and another dedicated to the other street life images... OK I just stop talking Smile the basic concept is that there is a wide middle ground between the two extremes.

That is the other, the ugly side of life. Yet very good photos.
I can only hope that these motives are always less. Unfortunately, the reality is another.

f16sunshine,
In answer to your question, this is a project I've been working on for about the last eight years, and I think the situation has grown worse since I started to document it. Initially the homeless seemed to be found only in the downtown areas of the city, usually in poorer neighbourhoods, but now they're found throughout the city, as well as in some of the suburban areas, on the extreme edges of Toronto.
Today, there are more and more people begging on the streets and increasingly we are seeing cases of violence against passersby who either did not wish to give money, or even did not give what was considered to be enough. Recently three street people beat a man to death when he refused to give them money.
I don't think the situation here in Toronto is unique, but still it is a sign of our times and is a very complex problem that the government is not effectively dealing with.
