Posed street portrait taken for my 100 Strangers project in Glasgow, Scotland.

I attempted to capture a candid shot of Daniel but he posed for the shot as I went to take it and laughed afterwards, I showed him the shot and asked if he wanted a proper portrait to go away with and he was happy to oblige. We relocated to this doorway just a short distance away and I tried to ask Daniel to remove his cap as the shadow over his eyes was too strong but he wouldn't take it off. The best I could manage was him raising his cap and chin enough for this shot. I was also trying to get him to look away from the sunlight, to avoid any squinting, yet still keeping the strong light on his face, as you can see from the shadow. That didn't really work either as Daniel decided where to look for the shot.
My inability to coach the pose aside, I still love the resulting shot and the attitude is portrays. Daniel, originally from Africa and a Muslim, now lives and works in Glasgow and has converted to Christianity. He was on his way to work in a bar in town. I have sent the shot over and hope that he likes the shot. I love the attitude in this despite the harsh light. Enjoy!
C.J. was sitting on the southeast corner of Monroe and Michigan. He's been homeless for seven years. "I'm waiting for an apartment", he said. I asked him where he sleeps and he pointed down, "down there", referring to the area below Michigan Avenue. "I feel safe down there". What he wants people to know is, "I haven't given up". His faith in God keeps him pushing forward. "I take whatever blessings come my way". His biggest needs are housing, transportation, and food. "That's it", he said matter-of-factly. "I'm content with what I have."
Forgot how loud the autofocus beep is on this camera.
Thankfully, he didn't seem to notice.

One of the photographers behind the barrier in front of the stage. I was one of the official photographers who had all access. I could go in front of the stage, behind the stage, on stage and had access to all the performers before they performed. A nice privilege after being an un-official photographer for many years at this event!

A baseball cap is a type of soft hat with a rounded crown and a stiff bill projecting in front.

The front of the hat typically displays a design or a logo (historically, usually only a sports team, namely a baseball team, or names of relevant companies, when used as a commercial marketing technique). The hat may be "fitted" to the wearer's head or the back may have elastic, a plastic prong-in-a-hole (multiple holes with one prong that can be inserted), Velcro, a zipper, or a tri-glide slide so that it can be quickly adjusted to fit different wearers' heads. The baseball hat is a part of the traditional baseball uniform worn by players, with the brim pointing forward to shield the eyes from the sun. Since the 1980s, varieties of the hat have become prevalent in the United States and many other nations, both for utilitarian (protecting the eyes from the sun) and fashion accessory purposes
136:365 - All About Me: Trying to keep it low key for this theme, just a baseball cap I've had since college.
A retro place in Greenville, SC.
My attention was especially drawn by the two men in front--they seemed to me so characteristic. Perhaps father and son? . . .
I confess that I feel public candids are an invasion of privacy, which is why I take so few of them. But I made an exception here. I hope the two gentlemen will forgive me. I show them as fine examples of local people.
EXPLORED. Thanks, friends.

Matt's been out here about a month, waiting for his friend to help him find a place to stay. He'd been waiting for about two hours when I first met him. He wants people to know he's a good person. What motivates him to be out here is the desire for change and the hope for a better day.
Don't Bother Me. This is a crowded train. I'm pretending to look busy reading a week old newspaper. Lost and found baseball cap. Walgreen reading glasses. Made in China for sure. They make the best. And never mind these vagabond shoes that are longing to stray. They'll step around the heart of it. New York, New York. I'm on No. 7 Train from Flushing-Main Street to Times Square. I'd make it anywhere. Yeah, oh New York, New York.

Greg was in front of Ogilvie Transportation Center on the north side of Madison Street. He's been trying to find work for three months. Where he stays there are bed bugs. He just needs a place where he can stay and take a shower. He does janitorial work and has worked in a grocery store as a butcher and has stocked shelves as well. "I'm a good person and help people when I can...if someone wants to talk I'll listen to them".
Simba's collar.
My cap.
I would like to think Simba was a "fan" because all I would have to say is "Play ball" and his tail-wagging, bright-eyed excitement was all there. Just like me!

I met Roger while visiting a local attraction in Sleaford. He looked a very interesting person with a story to tell and he most certainly was. We had a chat and he told me several very interesting facts about his life. This picture is no 77 in my 100 strangers project.

Andrew sat on the southeast corner of Monroe and Dearborn. He's been out here for four months. "Yesterday I was out here for four hours and nobody talked to me." He said the last week has been really flat (money-wise). "But even more than resources is interaction--I just want people to see me." The hardest thing for Andrew being out here is "finding a place to go to the bathroom" (as most stores and restaurants are off-limits). When he can, sometimes Andrew will stay in the (cheap) men's hotel nearby. But usually he sleeps outside. "It's brutal out here..."
Merv was on the southwest corner of Madison and Franklin. He's been selling Streetwise Magazines for 27 years. He smiled a lot as he talked. "I need a place where me and my girlfriend can stay". Right now he's in a (very) cheap hotel, which isn't ideal due to fights, cleanliness, and other issues. "The worst time to sell Streetwise is when it rains and in the summer. The best time is when it's cold, people have more compassion." He was so positive throughout our conversation. "The best thing about being out here is meeting people--people is where it's at.
Lawrence was standing on the corner of Madison and Wacker. We started talking and he kept going talking about a friend of his who was going through a divorce and was talking about suicide and Lawrence said “whoa, whoa, whoa!” He knows the value of life and that everyone matters. “There’s always someone worse off than you”. “You just gotta trust God”. Then he showed me his Bible. “I sleep with this and I wake up with it.” Lawrence had the kind of smile that could light up a street. His biggest need is clothes. He usually sleeps on the train or on the street. “Sometimes it gets a little cold out here.”
Cliff was sitting on the northeast side of the Adams Street Bridge. When I asked him how long he'd been out here, he answered, "Too long..." He's a veteran and was soft-spoken and friendly. "I'm a people person", he said, "be nice even if someone's a jerk...give them the benefit of the doubt." His biggest need is transportation (a bus pass), so he can go to work. "(Having a bus pass) that's the beginning" (to getting back on his feet).
Christian was sitting on the west side of Michigan Avenue near South Water Street with Sunny (his dog), and Jeremy, a friend he met on the street. He's from Massachusetts. His goal is to make it to Montana. "It's peaceful out there...and beautiful scenery." He's been riding (freight) trains for awhile. "I don't like being tied to one place", he said. The best part about being on the road? "This", he said with a smile (referring to the conversation we were having), "...the people, the interactions". The worst part? "Being stuck at a truck stop in the Midwest for 4 or 5 days..." He was friendly and engaging. He's even got a Youtube Channel! www.youtube.com/channel/UCNv_cheF9TXJIaXmg3FiZ-w
I'm sure we'll meet again...

Eugene sat by the Nederlander Theater, on the north side of Randolph Street. He was playing his banjo, sitting atop his duffel bag. He was very friendly, carefree, happy-go-lucky. He's originally from West Virginia and has been on the road for five years. He rides freight trains to get around. He's been to 47 states. The only states he hasn't seen are Hawaii, Alaska, and Vermont. When asked what his biggest needs are, he said, "really not much--I'm going to replenish my supplies: whiskey, pot, tobacco, food, and water", he said with a smile. Recently he's been in Nashville, Cinncinnati, Augusta, among others. He's planning on heading to Milwaukee next. "There's really nothing else I'd rather be doing", he said. He's been playing banjo for five years, right around the time he started to travel. "I learned to play myself...I played it so much I had to get it fixed."
