Better than Iceberg Slim - Stranger #57
"You tell them when you put this picture someplace that I'm a pimp. I'm better than Iceberg Slim, better than (I forget who)."
Clayton had personality. He was also working hard to call his father, Clayton Sr., to get a Western Union confirmation number. That was a rough conversation to hear. The goal was $35 and some gin. "You know how it is pop. You know I dress like some kind of gangster and people don't want to trust me."
"We can't keep doing this every day son. You know I ain't got no money and I don't plan to borrow any."
I had some other photos where he wasn't as posed but I think he would have chosen this one- all bravado and toughness.
This photo was taken as part of the 100 strangers project.
