On Sunday I gave him a few bucks and a few cigarettes, we talked for a bit. I asked what happened to his nose and he said, "It got sunburned,(sigh)..and then it got infected..." I didn't take his photo, it seemed too exploitive.<br /><br />But finally, when we crossed paths a third time, it seemed like somebody was trying to tell me something. And Ward certainly had no objections to more cigarattes and a few more bucks.-K-https://www.blogger.com/profile/03289562368002376807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15733602.post-2492171343681031322010-07-30T09:59:36.255-07:002010-07-30T09:59:36.255-07:00Leonardo da Vinci used to find interesting faces a...Leonardo da Vinci used to find interesting faces and follow them around the city--literally tail them through the streets and alleys--just to draw them.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15733602.post-30957450428561908642010-07-30T07:02:52.596-07:002010-07-30T07:02:52.596-07:00Again Kevin what a beautiful image.
