@...dieAntagonista: I once spent a month studying ayurveda under a woman who looked almost exactly like her. She smoked this potent mixture of tobacco, cannabis and some other stuff I don’t recall, in such a way that I wondered how she got enough oxygen to live, while I would take one or two puffs and be discombobulated. Her voice I will never forget.
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO-HOO what a ride!” –Original author unknown.
I know this man is probably a homeless man who would break my knees or grovel like a dog for his next fix, yet I find him almost beautiful and could be convinced he was a poet or a prophet. Perhaps that’s the power of photography.
@...WistfulD: That’s what I felt/thought when I looked at this picture. You see a homeless man on the street, generally that’s all you see. Freeze that moment and you get beauty and depth. Whoever and whatever this man is, he’s seen and done things I haven’t and it gives him something poetic that I definitely lack. (this does not mean I wish I were him)
@...dieAntagonista: It was actually one of the roughest phases of my life and somewhat ironically, considering what I was learning from her, it probably shaved several years off my lifespan. oh well. I never asked her age.
More like he’s been done more than once.
amirite?
I love this. And I found the female version of him i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll46/Panopticism/rauchen.jpg

Life… FTW!

Bad ass
@...dieAntagonista:I wonder if they know each other.
They probably robbed a bank together, or something.
@...Solid_Squirrel:

Who IS this man? He makes my soul tremble.
@...dub_1211:
If I reach for the stars
chances are I’ll end up like him
I think you missed what I was saying
@Dreth -absolutely, for a bottle of port.
@Solid_Squirrel-Do alot of really hard drugs and you can look like that by 25-30. Oh yeah, don’t shave.

@...sylvanish:
Why that’s amazing. I wish I knew somebody like her.
Your story sounds like something I would read in a book, I’m seriously impressed.

That’s clearly Big Boss.
Mel Gibson?
