[Note: This was a conversation I had months before COVID-19. I'm not connecting with anyone during this time].
Jean was at the corner of Hubbard and Randolph by Macy's. He's been homeless for about three months and prior to that about four years. He was living in a tent city for awhile in the north part of Chicago. Now, he's staying elsewhere. He said he's been doing pretty well (making money on the street) and said weekends are the best and sometimes Mondays. Not too long ago, he had his cup stolen that had about eight dollars in it. He just shrugged his shoulders and said, "well, I guess whoever took it needed it more than I did". Quite an outlook on life, when everything you have is taken. The same thing happened on the train a few months ago. His bag was stolen that had his Link card, IDs, belongings. Now he has to go to the Fourth Presbyterian Church to get new IDs. In the short time we were there, two other homeless gentlemen engaged him, asking him how he was doing, etc. There is an obvious camaraderie among the homeless.
Jean, a homeless veteran, stayed for quite awhile and had a lot to say. He was talking about his experiences with the Shelter that he's a part of (he also helps the shelter distribute sleeping bags and blankets to the homeless. He sells umbrellas and ponchos to people when it rains. He bought a bunch of umbrellas recently and said jokingly, "and it hasn't rained since!" He had an obvious love for life and wasn't at all down or depressed. His name was "Jean". He pronounced it numerous times with a French accent, obviously very proud of his name. "It's like Jean Claude Van Damme", he said. He occasionally sells things on the corner of Michigan and Randolph. "I'll give you a discount", he said with a smile.

I met Ron on the southwest corner of Madison and Wabash. He's been homeless for five weeks. At the moment, he's staying with a friend until he gets housing, which should be in a few more weeks. He was a positive and encouraging throughout our chat. "Even if you don't win the race, you still want to be cheered on. You need the positive energy--it's not the end!" We kept talking and he said that he wanted to be a writer. "I want to write a story about my life", he said. We started walking down the street and he said, "I'm a conversationalist...you have to listen to do that."
A graffiti smile in the foreground but not from the pavement person, despite the early morning beer.
Inadvertent capture while trying to shot some street art.
The statement on this man's baseball cap illustrates better than a 10,000 words essay the symbiotic relationship between MAGA followers and Evangelical Christians. This nexus of fundamentalist faith and ideology of exclusion based on race and American exceptionalism is extremely toxic.
I noticed the "Disco Love" patch on this chap's jacket, I wonder if that's what he's grooving to on his headphones? Quick candid snap from the old, stone bridge over the Union Canal from this afternoon's stroll
Some of the few people I saw walking along Princes Street, here reflected in the dark windows of a passing coach.
Luck of the Irish as an extra protection? In Europe Austria and Germany are about to make wearing this type of masks mandatory in public.
I met Murphy for the first time this week. He's a homeless man I've seen for years and he is a lovely human being. He was gracious enough to let me take his picture, so I share him with you :)
I met this guy on a recent trip to Cambodia and Vietnam. He lost both arms at elbow level and was badly scarred from a landmine.
Skateboarder in Training!
No idea why there are 2 lollipops in this set, they don't make sense, why not a bone or a ball?
I have worked with Chelsea on many occasions - we did this fun roller skating shoot in her garden and a road near her house.

Quick snap of one of the few people I saw walking along Princes Street - from the sidelong look I am getting I think he must have noticed me pointing the camera!

I met Caleb a little over a year ago. This time, he was sitting on the east side of Michigan Avenue, near South Water Street. He had a job a few months back and when the work went away, he had to live on the street again. He was sitting with his cat Napoleon, who's one of the most-loved cats in Chicago. Caleb had a plethora of food, a box of cat toys, and a place for Napoleon to lounge. He had a tent, but last week a bunch of hoodlums poured lighter fluid on it and burned it down, and beat him with a baseball bat. He called 911 and the police eventually found three of the guys, but they just let them go. So now they're living on the street near Macy's. "It's very uncomfortable." He's working on finding a new tent that'll fit him and his cat.
