Photo Shoot: The Drunk Hasid

This man was happily jaunting along Eastern Parkway when I asked for a photograph. He agreed, on the condition that I sit with him for a few minutes.

He was very much the director of this photo shoot. He would never really agree to the photographs I wanted to take. (“How about a nice one over there, under the trees?“) He would just shake off the suggestion and return to his own inspired ideas. In particular, he was very intent on getting an extreme close-up of his eyes. (Closer. No, closer.)

    This is so out of touch with this news website, some of the pics are scary and frightening, a lot of kids are also watching this. this Yid needs help, yet he hasn’t shaved his beard just yet.

    Sad. The man might be too drunk to realize what a spectacle he’s making of himself in public, but the photographer and editor should not have helped him to shame himself in this way. Did anyone try to get him help?

    These photos were taken by the photographer of HumansofNewYork.com

  • The Photographer Is Not Well Either

    The photographer should have known better that to take advantage of someone who is not well. Obviously the photographer is is not well either.

    #22… it is my opinion that people who drink professionally ( that is, out of a pint bottle) don’t smoke weed. someone who smokes doesn’t generally embarass themself in the street with some crappy vodka.
    anyway, that’s only my opinion….anyone got some papers?

    this is very not good to expose our children with such drinking habits its bad enough what our yeshiva systems knock into our children’s heads about being chassidish via drinking
