Greg

This is Greg. Greg approached me on the street and asked for some money, which I gave him. He isn't homeless, but he told me that he's currently out of work and that he's looking for a job as a dishwasher. While he was chatting me up about photography and an old camera he had back in the day, I asked him if I could take his picture and he obliged me--for a small modeling fee. I just love this shot, so it was all good money spent. I tried asking him questions about himself in order to add Greg to my 100 Strangers project. He didn't really want to share much and, unfortunately, seemed to get a little suspicious about my inquiries. I suppose he doesn't find too many strangers interested in learning more about him. He showed me his 12 speed bike and told me a little bit about his girlfriend, whom he was on his way to see. We shook hands and he pedaled off down the street. Not as much info as I would have liked to learn, but I'm adding him into the project nevertheless.
