Do you pay these models, Kate? Or are they just as important to your portfolio as the animals you photograph?

Brother Sharp
Thanks to Halt for this submission. We’re planning a lengthy post on the Brother Sharp phenomenon coming soon!
teenage-theory-deactivated20130 asked: Do you have any valid reasons as to why I should kill myself? If people (excluding the homeless since they aren't really people) were able to persuade me, I might put some thought into killing myself.
The homeless aren’t really people? As opposed to 4chan types such as yourself? I don’t see you starring in any ad campaigns in a Guy Fawkes mask. lrn2fshn
Makeshift shelters are perfect portable billboard space.
The Bible of Aesthetics: Going to get my girls and get naughty
Last night I decided that I should get my girls and get naughty. So we went out clubbing. We got really hammered and after that we decided that living in sin was the new thing. We were in.
Both of my girls are super hot and thin and just the appearance of these girls can put any fatty to shame.
Upon leaving, there was this wreck of a person who happened to be homeless. Apparently it was a regular thing for her to wait outside and hassle people for spare change. She followed this one guy for a few blocks for spare change until he flagged down a cop car, at which point that dumb homeless bitch turned around.
Kill yourself.
At least he’s honest.
This photo is a classic. Can anyone track this guy down? I have a job for him in a Four Loko campaign.

xtinathivan asked: thanks for reblogging my photo, to answer your first question, i actually came across other people's tumblr who would post "i feel useless bc..." and it inspired me to photoshop that picture.. i actually am not the photographer nor do i own a camera, so i decided to search online for an inspiring picture and came across this one.. and i just added my own thoughts to this picture.
here's the link http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=homeless&order=9&offset=24/dxieez
i am hoping that this picture would reach at least one other person and inspire them to open their eyes.. there are so many people who need our help ...
thanks for taking our comments in good spirit. awareness indeed needs to be raised - and we plan to do that by COMPENSATING the homeless for the use of their personal image and style. it’s about time the advertising industry woke up to this potential.and when you think about it, it’s the perfect cheap labor market to combat the scourge of outsourcing.
seriously, open your eyes people..
How much did THIS model get paid? While we’re at it, did Paul Simon ever give any royalties to that lady with diamonds on the soles of her shoes? I’m assuming they were metaphorical.

The Starvation Army
That was the name of a zine I got years ago detailing how the religious zealots behind the “Salvos” really aren’t as kind and caring as some of their other Christian-based charity comrades. My particular beef with them is overcharging for shitty clothes, literally throwing out overstock (why not donate to less popular charities?), and wasting money on massive advertising campaigns. What the fuck? Don’t support these charlatans.
Technology for Good: Giving homeless people a face and a voice...
Homeless people have never had a channel to tell their story before. Now they have. Giving all people a face and a voice allows us to see people as people rather than objects on the street to be avoided…

Great idea. But where’s the money in it? Fucking do-gooders.
You smell homeless, Brett, homeless.

Yet another reason not to watch this faux-PC liberal garbage.
Hobo Menswear?
REALLY? All I see you selling is suits and other corporate attire. Not only are you passing up the opportunity to capitalize on the emerging trend of “hobo chic”, you’re SPITTING IN THE FACE of those who are the forefront of fashion with overly expensive clothes they wouldn’t wear even if they were free! I would’ve called in to speak with the owner, but poetically, the door was locked with a sign saying “BACK IN 5 MINUTES”. Looks like even the moneyed don’t care to work all that much.

Fi-Dogg knows where it’s at. Look at this damn shirt. And his swag is all FREE. He’s put me on to the Byron Place Community Centre, who not only deck him out in sick threads but also provide hot meals and showers at no cost. You can be sure I’ll be visiting there soon.
Eddie was a great guy, typical of Big Issue vendors. The Big Issue uniform, however, I feel does the organisation a disservice. Of particular concern to me is the hideous vest. Is hi-viz really necessary in the middle of the day? I suspect it’s due to the sponsorship of Origin Energy. Not only do they get a full-page ad in each issue spruiking their benevolence, they have their logo printed on these awful vests (not visible in the above picture). Are these cast-offs from their workers that they got printed up cheaply with Big Issue and Origin logos? As for Eddie’s personal style, his shorts are a practical and stylish statement in this Australian summer. He likes to get his clothing from The Hutt Street Centre, who not only sell good clothing such as this for a meagre $2 or so, but also freely donate other cool clothing to the needy. I’ll pop by there sometime soon during opening hours to talk with the operators about their mission - and hopefully find some more recruits.Eddie (Rundle Mall, Adelaide, 2010)
“Charities angry as hobo chic inspires stylistas” By Elle Halliwell
From: The Sunday Telegraph November 01, 2009
THE next big fashion trend to hit the streets of Sydney is hobo.
Inspired by the homeless and destitute, designer hobo collections feature faded, ripped and threadbare pieces many charity shops would consider un-sellable - but fashion victims are paying thousands for them.
Why are so-called “fashionistas” simply trying to ape the style of the homeless and use the same tired old models in an attempt to make their stolen ideas marketable? Why aren’t the homeless themselves dictating the newest trends directly, let alone modelling them for profit? The fashion industry makes me sick.
