Documentary and Photojournalism - JM1303

A Day in the Life of Homeless Jack 
          A Documentary Photographic Profile by Nicola South 
A Day in the Life of Homeless Jack showcases my experiences with the homeless person that is Jack. I met Jack in my time of working in Winchester. My experiences with Jack have been very emotional for me and they have changed they way I feel about life day to day. I gained a particular appreciation for having somewhere to go at the end of each of each day, unlike Jack. I have learned that living life on the street is unpleasant and unsafe, as you probably expect. I hope my photographic profile will open your eyes to a new understanding of the homeless. I must make it clear that I had full permission from Jack before I made this profile.

A cold start to the day is something Jack faces every morning

Alone. . . 
Some people were generous. . .Today

When night falls, it becomes even more lonely.


Trying to find that moment of escape is the only way for Jack to get through


Sleeping rough really isn't comfortable or warm



I hope that my snapshots have given a brief understanding of homeless life.
