Tone-deaf posing-with-homeless photo draws flak in LA hipster haven
The homeless man seems little more than a prop as the woman stands before Dallas Clayton's mural, which reads "Stand here and think about someone you love," in the hipster stronghold of Silverlake.
"At one point the photographer directed her to move closer to the homeless man so she could center the photo. They were still at it when I drove away," Rich Michalowski, who took the picture Sunday and posted it on Facebook, said in an email to TakePart.com.
Condemnation was swift on social media.
"There's a certain amount of irony involved in posing for a warm fuzzy picture while trying not to stand on a homeless man's head," wrote one commenter on Facebook.
"I've seen a few homeless people sleeping in that spot and every time someone posts a photo of themselves against that mural it's all i can think about ... I don't know how anyone could do that i feel physically ill," wrote another.
