Street Person Seattle

I was walking down the street getting ready to do some city at dusk shots. This Person that lives on the streets was passing by the other direction, and says to me that he will sale me 3 jokes for a beer. I talked to him for about 20 minutes, he said he likes the way he lives his life and doesn't mind living on the streets, He was a likable person and I told him, tell you what, I have to get moving soon because I need to set up my gear and get to work, but if you want to let me take a few shots of you I will give you enough money for a great dinner and some left over money for your needs, he was all smiles until he got in front of my camera, I guess taking his picture made him shy or i am not sure, but this is what he gave me, I paid him and went on my way, I turned around at one point to see where he was going, zink right into the bar he went. oh well so much for his dinner, Never saw this guy again, but I try to imagine how anyone would want to live on the streets, he did tell me going to a job and doing the whole work thing was not for him. He would rather be poor live on the streets. my advice to him was get cleaned up and take a shot at being a comedian, some of his jokes were funny, some not so funny but he had a great time telling jokes. why not give it a try
