This photo was taken on Marietta Street May 11th. It is a picture of a homeless man named William Gazaway. William is disabled and can barely walk. He shuffles around on a walker. William has been homeless ever since he got out of prison ten years ago. The night before I took this picture he slept on the street near Grady hospital. “I got so many health problems it’s not even funny, “ he said. He stopped receiving his disability check a while ago and now gets nothing, he does not know why. He has been in Grady hospital recently but says they didn’t do anything for him but keep him doped up. “Its horrible being homeless” he said, “you never have any peace of mind.”
