Nicely done. I might have to take my camera to work with me & photograph the street-preachers in Cardiff. The main difference is that you'll note that nobody is listening to them, except maybe the pigeons.

Listening--not? May be, yes.
You know, it goes in one ear, and before coming out the other it has to pass through the subconscious.
Just a thought.
Ciao,

There is a difference between listening and hearing just as there is a difference between seeing an looking. Listening and seeing means you have to make the effort and have the abilities to understand. :)

I think the ability to understand is there, just no interest in what they're peddling

I agree 100% with you on this one. The ones I see in the streets of Glasgow have a lot of space around them because people who were previously walking in a straight line suddenly veer off to the right or left and then continue walking in a straight line. :)

These folks are a bit of a captive audience. This guy is a preacher for a local church charity that feeds the homeless every Monday, Wednesday and Friday night. The longer the waiting crowd doesn't pay attention, the longer he spiels them into aural submission. You listen or look like you are, you eat warm food or at least you get to eat before it gets dark. The girl across the street had to wait for a friend to bring her food because he refused her. Very Christian of him, I thought.

I think that's what's called preying on the vulnerable. Altogether less positive than praying for the vulnerable (not that the latter seems to do any good anyway)
