SOCIAL REALISM PART 4: ON THE CHURCH'S STAIRS

I took a shot of Oslo Cathedral today to continue my Doors in Oslo project, but when I turned the corner just to check out the side doors, I came over this anonymous gentleman. It is hard to see junkies on a trip, and even more disturbing when it is on a church stairs. I check on him, and he was "ok". That means he was breathing.

Our crone prince Haakon got married to Mette Marit in this church. They decided that 40 of the seats in church should go to normal people during the wedding ceremony. 10 of the 40 seats they gave to the Church City Mission that also use the Cathedral. The Church City Mission decided that their users that mean addicts and prostitutes should get all the seats. Maybe this gentleman was one of the guests?

All my best for him and his family.
