i pulled into the turn lane knowing full well that this particular light had a short cycle.
my window was halfway down because even though it's February, the temperature this afternoon in Houston, Texas was a gloriously non-humid 76 degrees.
(aside: it should be a law that anyone caught driving around with car windows up on such a nice non-humid day in Houston, Texas should pay a fine whose collected monies go towards the electric bill in cooling centers for the elderly and homeless during the hellish summer months.)
standing ahead on the median was a homeless person with cardboard sign that simply said "HUNGRY".
he looked down the row of cars, scanning for the one pair of eyes that might meet his weirdly smooth yet leathery face.
i thought about handing him a dollar, and then decided on a whim that today wasn't my day (other days sometimes are, it's more of a gut feeling/timing thing).
four cars ahead, a window buzzed down and an arm held out carton of McDonald's fries and a small wrapped thing which i can only assume by it's size was the burger in a kid's meal.
the man trotted up to the window and grabbed the items.
the window buzzed up again, and the light turned green long enough to let two cars turn.
TWO! i kid you not.
it was then i realized the wisdom in his choice of location.
still clutching the sign that stated in big bold black capital letters "HUNGRY", he placed the burger gingerly down on the concrete and then proceeded to stuff his face with french fries. and i do mean stuff. the more i watched, the more comical it became
(not in a classist, better than thou way, but more in the juxtapositional sense).
at one point, "HUNGRY" sign still proudly displayed to the outside, his maw was so full of fries that they stuck out on all sides like hay, (or perhaps straws or perhaps that octopus thing from the Pirates of the Carribbean films that i never bothered to watch, or perhaps more like those guys back in the day that would stuff their mouths full of cigarettes in an attempt to break a world record.) and moved up and down outside his mouth with every interior chew.
i reached for my phone wanting to document this rare moment, not for the exploitation of the homeless, but for the comedic value of him not being able to put down the "HUNGRY" sign despite stuffing his face for all to see.
'can't put down the sign, might miss out.'
or FOMO as the kids call it these days.
he was still scarfing down french fries when our eyes met.
he stopped chewing long enough to give me a huge grin. the kind you imagine encountering in a small town where everyone waves, and seems just a little bit overwelcoming and overfriendly, but never end up doing you no harm.
it would've been a beautiful picture.
i put my phone down, and managed to smile back before the light turned green.
and although i didn't capture the scene, his face is burned into my memory banks forevermore.
/it was surreal, and creepy in that Stephen King sort of way -
you're in the part of the book where everything is okay so far and you don't know who's harmless and who's terrifying just yet, so you trust everyone and no one simultaneously. and everything has that weird summer haze glow air of innocence to it, but you know that something completely fucked up is waiting with incredibly morbid patience just around the bend...
if you let it.
suddenly you remember the
strange shadows across the face, the lack of teeth in the bottom row, the ragged way the word "HUNGRY" started out with a large powerful "H" and then each letter progressively became smaller as if an ethusiastic someone had the passion for life beaten out of them until they felt very very tiny.
memory tunnel visions in on that grinning clownish howdy doody maw jammed full of terrible for you fast food -
gluttonous indulgence joy riding on slovenly waves of destitution.
i guess you can boil it down to strange paranoia.
the paranoia you imagine in retrospect after a seemingly harmless event has occured.
and the unnerving part of it is that your brain has not only
recorded the scene, but recorded multiple versions of the scene without you even realizing it.
you now have the ability with each rememberance to make
it creepier
or happier
depending on your shifting moods.
on another day you might recall how the sun glinted softly off the wispy blond locks on his head, how the crowsfeet wrinkled beautifully around his greenish eyes, how that smile filled with fried potatoes seemed so innocently joyfully genuine, or how happy that arm reaching out of the car seemed when it gave away the food. you might revel in the
good vibes of a small act of kindness, and use it as a reminder to yourself to carry that kindness forward.
the only way to describe that feeling is a happy sort of creepy and even that's not correct.

it's what's for breakfast?
well, it sounds like it, anyway. I noticed while doing that last shot that I'm capable of producing some mighty impressive crowsfeet. I've always known about the dimples.

Despite the fact that this man was homeless, he was willing to have his portrait taken and gave me a smile. Not your conventional street photography I guess, but it adds warmth to what could have otherwise had been a bleak photograph.

Laser skin resurfacing or abrasion uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) or Erbium laser to remove areas of damaged or wrinkled skin, layer by layer. The procedure is most commonly used to minimize the appearance of wrinkle like fine lines, especially around the mouth or eyes - crow's feet wrinkles - and to remove blotchy skin pigmentation from sun damage. Laser resurfacing may be performed on the whole face or in specific regions for a younger looking you.

This is Josephine, a beautiful Iñupiaq woman I met at the Kotzebue Senior Citizens Center. I can't wait to return to Kotzebue to bring her these photos I made of her, and learn more about her (I wished I could have sat and chatted and ate ptarmigan soup with her, but I had to run off to help with a focus group.) She told me, as I said goodbye, "Friends always come at the right times." I told her, "and I will come back!"
I look forward to coming back and learning from her, because what I have seen from traveling to rural Alaskan places and from learning from Alaska Native people through my personal and professional life is that elder women such as Josephine with so much kindness in their hearts that is so immediately apparent also have so many skills that they acquired over a lifetime (fishing, skinning, butchering, sewing, beading, dancing, storytelling, healing, teaching young people about relationships, the list goes on and on), and have survived the incredible hardships of colonization and the unhealthy consequences that often occurred and occur within families as a result. I look forward to hearing her stories and skills.

This is the most gorgeous little vintage pink enamelware cup, certainly NOT for sale, but part of the fittings and a good luck charm - it encapsulates the atmosphere of the shop.
