Unemployed II

Description

As I was walking with the music in my ears, I spotted this man, and he was looking at me in a special way.
Instinctively I held on tight of my camera and bag.

Then, when he was just going to pass me, he stopped and said something. So I pulled out the earplugs to hear what he was saying.

He kindly asked me if I wanted to take a picture of him.
I thought it was strange for a random man to just stop me to ask me to take a picture of him, seemed a bit suspicious.
So I answered him back, kindly, "No thank you, I'm in a hurry.".

But he continued talking, saying that he was also a photographer and currently unemployed. (Which can be quite usual for that profession.)
At this point I was starting to loosen up a bit.

He then asked me "Do you know what this is?", holding up and pointing at his scarf.
"I don't think so.", I answered.
"You don't?", he said, "You don't know what Palestine is?".

I noticed the colors of Palestine's flag on the scarf.

"I want to overthrow Hamas.", he said.

Then we talked a little more and I happily agreed to take a photo of him.
