A woman has come under fire after posing for a photo in front of a mural with a message of love, alongside a homeless man sleeping at her feet.
“Stand here and think about someone you love,” the message on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles read.
However, the photo shows just how oblivious the woman is to her surroundings.
“It’s unfortunate that any person would have to sleep on the street,” the mural’s creator Dallas Clayton wrote on TakePart.com.
“It’s unfortunate that someone could be so disconnected that they would step over someone to take a photograph and also it’s unfortunate that the spectacle of documenting this is easier to discuss and comment on than the root issue is to solve.”
Rich Michalowski, a real estate agent who lives in Silver Lake, took several pictures of the two women from his car.
“At one point, the photographer directed her to move closer to the homeless man so she could centre the photo,” he wrote to TakePart.
“They were still at it when I drove away.”
