Stranger #82

I ran into Scott Fisher in Threadgill's World Headquarters, the home of the Austin, Texas, '70s hippie-era myth derived from a combination of Kenneth Threadgill's old gas station turned restaurant/music haven and Armadillo World Headquarters, the infamous live-music venue.

 

I loved the light overhead and asked him to pose with it. Scott is the chief meteorologist (aka weatherman) for the Fox news station in Austin. He's originally from New York, then worked in Tennessee before arriving in Austin 10 years ago for the weather gig. I met him while asking to borrow some Crayons from his table for my son. Oh, and Scott ordered fried catfish for dinner. Good choice.

 

Thanks for posing, Scott!

 

He is my eighty-second stranger in the Flickr challenge to shoot photos of 100 strangers: www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers/.
