and to hurry away from the unpleasant truths..
Thanks for looking.

It looks to me like the man is doing midday prayers, no? (The woman is just passing by.) That is, it doesn't appear to be a discouraging scene to me. But perhaps there's something I don't know.
But my good Sherlock, is he indeed a beggar or just begging? That, if you don't mind the pun, begs the question.I think that this man is not praying but is just a beggar...........................Besides, the cobblestones and the latin alphabet graffiti on the wall indicate that this is not a middle east country but somewhere in Europe.
Elementary, my dear Watson ;-)
Ken,I grind my teeth every time I read some dope, pro or amateur, say, "I love telling stories with my images." That, to me, is analogous to a toothy blonde beauty pageant contestant saying that she wants world peace. Photographs do not tell stories. Photographs CANNOT tell stories. They can illustrate and enrich stories. They can suggest stories. But you need language to tell stories. Nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions.
So this photo is Exhibit A in the old chestnut, "A picture is worth a thousand words". But the corollary and subtitle to that hoary old silly saying would be, "But it's usually the wrong thousand words".
