Balanced News: Mystery photographer sends homeless man portrait to be auctioned

A mystery photographer sent two black and white photos of homeless man Allan Adams to Pea Sea Art gallery in Port Chalmers, with a letter asking that one be given to Adams and the other sold on his behalf. The photograph was taken outside a pharmacy in Port Chalmers while the photographer was giving Adams a meal and a few dollars. Adams, who was born in Whakatāne in 1961 and moved to Dunedin in 2001, is currently homeless and relies on winning the lottery to get a home. The photo is being auctioned on TradeMe and all proceeds will go to Adams.
