Ralph

Ralph, originally uploaded by Pat Maus Photo-Blog.

He is one of Hamburg's St.Pauli true faces. Ralph is homeless since 1988, originally born in the old DDR part of Germany and crossed the forbidden border when he was younger. He has two daughters which he haven't seen in over ten years...Due to our social system in Germany, he could rely on financial support but his free will is not to take any money from the state. He sees himself as a son of the streets and so far travelled to over 23 countries where he has lived and worked (e.g. the south of France where he helped collect the grapes for the wine)....
