One of our first stops was at the <a href=\"http:\/\/thelongcenter.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Long Center for the Performing Arts<\/a>. I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to attend various events at the Long Center but my favorite part of the facility is its architecture. \u00a0So, we decided to go explore the photography opportunities. \u00a0Upon arrival, we gravitated to a colored light platform\u00a0located in the front of the building and noticed a homeless man putting on a show and dancing on top of the light structure. The lights are constantly changing in a\u00a0random pattern and he seemed to have figured it out and was enjoying himself. \u00a0Then he paused and took a long took at downtown Austin. That&#8217;s when I was able to capture this image.<\/p>\n<p>Like many large cities in the US, Austin is a very homeless-friendly city. The estimated homeless population in Austin is about 2,500 with about 1,000 of those being chronically homeless. \u00a0There are a multitude of homeless shelters and facilities designed to feed and house the homeless. Many have turned to panhandling as a way to earn a living.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4262\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4262\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20120421-Austin-Long-Center-AG.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4262\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/homeless\/homeless-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/20120421-Austin-Long-Center-AG.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
