The issue - that out of however many people who walk past Robert outside dymocks bookshop in Brisbane, 30 or 40 will buy the big issue magazine from him.

the plug - buy the big issue! this month it even has a MATTHEW REILLY short story in it! albiet... one that is on his website to dl for free... that aint the point...

This is a great picture, and I loved that issue.
Just out of curiosity, where was this shot taken?

i say some of those homless guys selling are kinda freaky, they like ambush you at central and at the lights although there was an article in the courier mail about how because he sold the big issue, he now has a job and gets to see his kids etc.

We've something similair in Denmark. they sell them for 20 kroner ($3.23) and from that, the seller get 8 kroner ($1.29), I think. I buy an issue every time I see a seller.
I think that it's quite succesfull here in Denmark at least. I like the way you encourage the magazine :clap:

We kinda got that in norway too.
The homeless buys magazines for 20 kroners
and sell them for 40, and after all they use their own money.
The magazine is a mix og everything from portraits, street pictures
and interviews, some are stories.
