On this day met up for lunch with my friend Dan who was in town on business and we both decided ARods Tex Mex on Cottage Grove Road seemed like a good choice. While enjoying our keto friendly quesadillas, the man behind the counter kept starring at me. I felt some sort of connection like I knew his face (and it wasn't the fact that he was the man on the branding everywhere in the restaurant), eventually he came down and asked me if I was still taking pictures. I looked quizzically but knew the voice but then like a camera. it clicked so I did a quick query on my Flickr archive of #608strangers and searched ARod.
Sure enough I had photographed ARod at Tutto Pasta on State Street back in November of 2014. I shared the photo with him and we laughed and shook hands just like we did whenever I'd cross paths with him downtown. A decade has nearly passed since our original encounter, but obviously I made the right impression on him at the time.
I hadn't taken photos yet but of course had my camera with me, fitted with a Super Takumar 28mm f/3.5 lens I did my best with manual focus and the dim lights inside to capture a new memory. I'll be printing up copies of both the past and present picture for ARod and hopefully delivering to him in the coming week.
