1981 Sidewalk Santas
Photos of a Sidewalk Santa taken in 1981 in NYC.
The men you see in this and the other photos from this series are all working at becoming better versions of themselves. These photos were shot in 1981. I have no idea what happened to these men, but hopefully they went on to have happy and fulfilling lives.
Today, there are still men like them who are in the same situation. Like you and me, they are not perfect, and have had problems in their lives. However they have not given up. Some have family they would like to get back to. Some have no one. But all have taken responsibility for themselves, and for that, they are worthy of our compassion.
The photos in this series were shot with permission from the men pictured, and the Volunteers of America.
In this time of uncertainty and need, if you can afford to lend comfort to those in need, please send them a donation.
