IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

It was my old dream to create image depicting homeless. 
To create something similar to  wayfarers and beggars 
from the paintings of my favorite artists Hieronymus Bosch 
and Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The word "homelessness" in 
the explanation of the current topic was a hint to create 
such image.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The photo in the background of my image was taken last
fall in San Francisco. This photo dictated that golden
palette which I tried to keep across the whole image as
close as possible. I found dozens pictures and photos
of tango dancers in Internet. Using them as a reference
I created image of tango dancers in Illustrator. In 
Photoshop I prepared textures and bump maps for concrete 
and for plastic bags in the shopping cart. The shopping 
cart and the homeless was modeled in sPatch. Then all 
ingridients were cooked in POV-Ray.
In order to avoid huge file size of archive I didn't 
include into zip file textures and the model of the
shopping cart.
