Stranger 24/100 Devon
I met Devon Saturday night panhandling on the streets of Times Square NYC. Amidst the chaos of the city, he was soft spoken and gentle. Kinda out of it..maybe confused or maybe self medicated...
But i explained my project and he allowed me.. then he thanked me several times for 'asking' to take his picture...i understood what he meant.. that i asked his permission. which left me feeling sad that to many he's a point and shoot tourist photo op.
What i love about this project is its helping me break down my personal barriers of being shy...several months ago i never would have had the guts to shake this mans hand.
This is my 24th stranger for www.100strangers.com
