(hungry man in tenderloin, sf, 10/12/06)
hungry john quinn hunched over a trash can in the tenderloin. as i pass, he stands vacantly staring nowhere in particular. he wears a black leather jacket and hospital bottoms. there's darkness about his eyes; the whites aren't white, rather slight shades off his skin. but when the light catches, so do they.
i circle and return from another direction. he's grim and i expect dismissal. i ask if i can take his picture. he smiles and says "why sure you can." he has only a single tooth. he lives in a nearby "poorly ventilated" low income hotel. he just got out of the hospital and has been trying to get money for food. he had a heart attack. says he's had to quit smoking.
i ask about his blue eyes. if anyone else in his family has had them. says no, "just me and my mule"
there's an animation in him that he seems to save. and an intelligence that surprises. we talk of the time he met martin luther king in the airport leaving for india. we talk of his graduation from berkeley, his acceptance to law school, and the drug use which would take him elsewhere.
he talks of south africa's "honorary whites", india's untouchables, and sartre's essence of a man.
and he describes an exchange between south africa's botha and nelson mandela, when the latter was in prison. botha insists that mandela renounce violence as an alternative if he wishes release.
mandela refuses, responding that there is no alternative to life; and that he will do whatever is necessary to live.

Listen to one of the greatest love songs of all time: Ben E. King - Stand By Me
Stand by Me: Ben E King
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me, oh won't you stand now, stand
Stand by me...

Cardinals are so fast! This photo is one from my archives, and I thought it appropriate with all the snow falling in the south (but not here in VA).
Shot into the bright glare of the morning sun and converted to B&W for fun. :) Hopefully more foggy mornings ahead as the leaves change later.
At Little Bay this morning still feeling a bit crappy from a cold I ventured out in the rain with the Focus crew. The view at Little bay is amazing but i wasnt really in the mood for a headland seascape thing so turned around and shot this at the gold course behind me.

Another shot from one of the most amazing mornings I've ever witnessed. The mist and fog hung around so long without being too dense to make it impossible to shoot. It extended that great morning light for hours.
Thanks for looking!

Whilst the autumn colours are in full force at the moment, the weather has other ideas. So here is an image from Blea Tarn last year, I loved the stand out golden tree lining the shoreline. It was a waiting game, I was ecstatic when the water calmed and the sun broke through illuminating the golden foliage.
A similar image features in my 2018 Lakes Calendar, now available and in limited supply:
If you stand for a reason, be prepared to stand like a tree. If you fall onto the ground, fall like seed that grows back to fight again - Sukh Sandhu
Here is the another one from Harden/Cootamundra trip last weekend. Found this tree standing alone between canolas. This was captured just before the light hits the tree. Feel free to share

Rickshaw stand beside rail line near a platform. Shot taken from running train. Here in West Bengal in India , Rickshaw is still a major transportation vehicle for short distance. Most common charge is Rs/-20 ( 1/3 of a $ ) for a trip of 1 - 2 km distance.
