This is David. We saw each other again last week. It’s the third time I’ve cut his hair. I guess it’s fair to say that I’m his hairdresser and he’s one of my regulars. But, as you know, this has always been about much more than that... When our paths first crossed over a year ago at his spot near London Bridge station, we had an immediate connection. Despite sleeping out on the street for the last two years, (I say that so often I have to remind myself what just a few nights on the concrete would feel like...) David seems to have a way of retaining who he is. His smile is infectious. He considers it the most valuable thing he has. . “When I wake up, at about 5:45 in the morning, I sit by the station. I always make sure I say good morning and smile at people as they’re on their way to work. Because, we can be so sad sometimes...I really see it. We’re all walking around with troubles and I think a smile can make you forget them for a moment... Like, this lady smiled at me this morning and it instantly put a smile on my face also. Then there was this one fella, we see each other every morning, who stopped the other day and said - ‘You know what David? You make it a pleasure going to work, I genuinely look forward to walking past here in the morning.’ - At first I thought it wouldn’t make a difference, but then I see people’s reactions and it’s real... I have some people say to me - ‘David, you’re the only person who says good morning to me...’ which is mad isn’t it..? I know a smile makes a difference because I’ve seen it for myself now. I’ve seen people as they turn the corner, look around and then smile back... That’s really nice.” . David and I talk a lot on the phone and touch base whenever we can. The last five years have been a rollercoaster for him. If you want to find more about his story, scroll down in my feed a while. @gotvitaminc painted David last year for our @lightnoiseart show in London and we’re selling the painting, with all proceeds going directly to David. Scroll right and DM me if you’re interested. Thanks for your constant love and support. People like David are as important to me as anybody else. #DoSomethingForNothing

Kao i svaki dobar frizer, ćaska sa svojim klijentima, sluša priče o njihovim problemima, osećanjima, ali ne na udobnoj fotelji salona već na ulici.

Beskućništvo je u Londonu veliki problem, i Džošua svojim frizerskim makazama ima želju da podigne svest o tom problemu i da pokuša da probudi razumevanje za ljude u nevolji, piše portal unilad.co.uk.

Pošto završi sa šišanjem, Džošua obavezno pita klijente da li mu dozvoljavaju da njihov stari i novi izgled, putem fotografija, podeli na društvenim mrežama.

Deleći priče beskućnika, koristeći haštag "Do Something For Nothing" mladi frizer naglašava činjenicu da oni, kao i svi ljudi, imaju svoju priču koja ih je dovela do nezavidne pozicije.

None of us can see where we’ll be twenty years from now… Life brings unforeseen struggles that no rehearsal can prepare us for. The most difficult tests we face require unprecedented strength. When the odds are stacked up against you, it’s difficult to overcome those challenges alone. Pain can leave us weak. It changes the way we operate each day. When I’ve been in pain, I needed reminding of the beauty in this world. I had to concentrate on what beautiful actually means to me, not anyone else’s version... I found beauty in humans who can’t buy it in a bottle. I found it in the connection we share with one another inside. I’m working with @evohair on their ‘Don’t Buy It’ campaign. They’re challenging social norms and I’m right behind it. #byebuybuy #ad @valeriejardin

Govoreći o svom poslu na ulici, Džošua kaže da se tu „ne radi baš o makazama i besplatnom šišanju“. Reč je tome, kaže, da se vreme posveti onima koji imaju dosta problema, koji nemaju krov nad glavom, da se sa njima popriča, jer su često ignorisani, i da se njima podele nade, misli, problemi...

I dok Džošua besplatno šiša, njegov prijatelj Džejmi fotografiše beskućnike i potom ih slika. Oni su iznajmili jedan galerijski prostor u kome organizuju svojevrsne izložbe portreta beskućnika koje su upoznali.

Cilj im je da na takav način naprave neku vrstu mosta između beskućnika i ljudi, koji bi trebalo, kako kažu, da imaju „više razumevanja za one koji se razlikuju“.

„više razumevanja za one koji se razlikuju“

Tesko u beskrupuloznom kapitalizmu.
