Larry
You can read more about my $2 Portrait Project here.
I ran into Larry today near Ellis and Larkin. He was standing out in front of his hotel where he lives when he saw me and asked if he could have a dollar to get something to eat. I told Larry about my $2 portrait project and he agreed to pose. He told me one rule though. I asked Larry what that was, and he said you gotta tell me to smile before you take the picture. Fair enough I told Larry back. Let me see that smile. And with that Larry lit up his great big smile.
I asked Larry where he was from originally and he joked back, 'originally?" he said, from inside my momma I guess. Then he chuckled at his joke and told me that he was from Oklahoma. You still got family back there I asked him. No, Larry replied back I don't have any family anymore.
I asked Larry where his favorite place he'd ever lived was and he told me Kansas City. He said he loved that they had all four distinctive seasons back there.
I asked Larry if he was working and he said he wasn't at present. He said he's been looking for work but that he hasn't been able to find any. Larry told me that he was a carpenter by training.
I took some more shots of Larry and then let him look through them on my LCD. You're a real photographer he said, that's a really good thing to be. As I was flipping through the images on my camera he stopped me and pointed to one of the images. That one he told me. That's the one. See, I told you you'd get a good photo if you asked me to smile.
With that Larry said he had to go down to the corner store to get something to eat. I thanked him for his time and he thanked me for the money and we went our separate ways.
