This is an image made in Charleston for an assignment about the merchant’s association searching for a solution to solve what they say is a homeless problem that negatively impacts tourism. Pat Conquest says he’s not homeless, but has been harassed for hanging out on the one public beach under the bridge that leads into the fishing town. This image never made it into the newspaper. I took a series of photographs and this is the one where I feel he let his guard down and revealed a bit of truth behind his eyes.
