what is real?

Quick simple question. What do you see here?

Assuming you have thought about it for a second, what impression have you formed about this photo? Is it a creepy old guy staring at a child? Is it Gandalf in a biker jacket with a hobbit child? Well, let me inform you of what it really is. This is actually a group helping the poor/homeless in a community. Essentially a group of volunteers created a organization that would donate and provide goods/essentials/food to the poor and homeless in the community for free. This man was a volunteer who was rather nice and humorous. He was actually playing with the child and entertaining them that evening and not long after this photo gave her a a piece of candy. Sometimes things we see are not what they seem. Context is everything.

Yes your are right, if not your explanation, my thought was the other way round. Good job.

I like toast 🍞

My first impression was a man concerned about a child. Sounds like I wasn't too far off.

Being a long-haired hippy myself, I know guys like this are often the best sort to hang around.

you were actually right. The child was one of the disadvantaged being helped.
