A Ghost Surrounded by Ghosts

This photo was taken at a busy subway station in Rotterdam. On the stairs a homeless man, who frequents the area, is seated. At first he wasn't there, the photo was just people walking down the stairs in a blur; it was lifeless. Then he took a seat and the photo came to life. However whilst taking the photo I noticed how everyone walked past him as if he wasn't there. He wasn't surprised, for he is used to it. Homeless people tend to be ignored as much as possible, especially nowadays when everyone is stuck in their own worlds. That's why he is 'A Ghost Surrounded by Ghosts'.
