Gice me pictures of homeless people from Montreal!
I'm in an illustration program and one of the projects is to make a magazine cover featuring a homeless person.
Well I walked around downtown today for like an hour and the only homeless person I found seemed clinically insane, and as such probably wouldn't be too helpful.
So, if for some reason you have pictures of homeless people, it would save me an assload of time and effort.
I won't even question why you have the pictures.
If you do decide to help me, please don't just post something from google. This could end up badly for me.
If nobody posts anything, which is what I expect will happen, thanks anyway.
Nah, if I just get it off google the teacher can check google.
That would kind of be cheating.
But if someone for some reason has pictures they took themself and were to give them to me, then that couldn't be considered cheating.
It's really not that big a deal, but like I said, it would save me from wasting my saturday hunting down the homeless.

if getting it off google is cheating, how is getting it off an internet forum (and thus making someone else do your work for you) not cheating exactly?
If it has to be a photo, all things failing, get a friend to do some hard yard work wearing the most battered set of Goodwill clothes you can scrounge up, and stage it with a cardboard sign. But, it is Montreal - as common a sight as homeless are in my city of 30,000 where they're actively rounded up and taken off the streets, you should be able to see them there. Go to the less respectable or downscale business districts, or if you have an area with a lot of churches, try there.
Also, check the phone book for soup kitchens. Might be able to get a Depression-style bread line picture, which should fit the bill.
Except clothes at Goodwill are actually in good condition. The point of Goodwill is to sell clothes to people with money so they can help people without money.
Also, not all homeless people have hole filled brown clothes.
Just take on of your friends, a duffel bag, have him lay down on a bus stop bench with the bag under it, snap picture, done.
So, if for some reason you have pictures of homeless people, it would save me an assload of time and effort.
I won't even question why you have the pictures.
Yeah, there are actually two reasons I didn't want them from google.
First of all, the professor can check.
Secondly, and more importantly, the photos could be copyrighted. If someone found out I used a photo in which they had the copyright, well that could mean big shit for me.
So yeah, nevermind. I'll figure something out. I'll admit it was a cheap attempt to cheat so I could do something else today.
If worse comes to worse I'll just get someone I know to dress all ratty and sit on a bench somewhere.
I think the one-armed guy will be just about the most recognaziable bum you'd be able to find, second only to maybe the black dude who calls everyone boss (that guy gives me the creeps)

How the hell do you think these people wound up homeless, shortbus? There's one near my bus stop every morning, all she does is run up and down the same two blocks in bare feet, rain hail or shine. She won't be moving into a paying job any time soon.
Frankly, I think whoever assigned you this project is a shitheel if they want you to just go out and take some freakshow pictures, maybe write an article about how sad it all is, learn how to get the better-off to feel... something. But if you can't even stand to look at a major cause of homelessness in the face? Weak, man. Get your damn camera and go find a soup kitchen.

The Cat, ladies and gentleman, QFT.
I have a feeling that the point is to get students to confront the problem. You found some crazy dude? Think about his life, why he's crazy. He's real.
I dunno. This is a really fucked up thread. Go do your damn homework and think carefully about this assignment.

And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

If you can't find a homeless person to take a photo off, draw something yourself.
I do consider it incredible that you can't find a homeless person in a big city, though. I sincerely doubt the effort you've put into this.
Also, check the phone book for soup kitchens. Might be able to get a Depression-style bread line picture, which should fit the bill.
Also, not all homeless people have hole filled brown clothes.

What if they're like gagged and tied up?
You still want them?
