I've hear a lot of hard luck stories in the past 36 hours. Random interactions with cabbies and short order cooks. People out of jobs, down on their luck, and low on faith. This guy, who mumbled "canyouspare" with such a thick Indian accent that it sounded like a ritual chant, stopped me in my tracks. When he saw me with the camera he stopped his lilting repetitions and shouted, "TAKE MY PICTURE!" Loud. So loud people -- New Yorkers -- up & down the block stopped and held their breath for a second. I stared at him, trying to determine whether he meant to stick a "DON'T" in front of that order. And then he said, "I just want to be remembered. Take it."
And I gave him the change in my pocket.
Explored!
