Are you French?

Yeah, I wasn't in the safest part of town. Not to mention this is an alley where addicts were shooting drugs. I spoke with them and we had a few laughs. I introduced myself, asked them about their names. I made small talk and edified them as much as a gentleman could under the circumstances. Many people, in general, are good people but somewhere along, they can loose their way. I was going to ask if I could take their picture but I felt it was in poor taste to capture them with needles stuck in their arms. Instead, I listened and spoke when spoken to. I believe this image was more for me. However, I did Instax one on the spot (that tripped one young man out), I gave it to him (Eddie).Looks like a small-caliber bullet hole in that steel gate bar, lower right!

Thank you. I always have been. See, the thing is, I grew up in it. Lived it, not heroin though, but many friends did. I wasn't a saint but that was not my thing due to fear of my father. That environment is very familiar to me. People from that environment, know people that lived in that environment which breaks the tension that many would feel if they encountered it.Be carefulYeah, I wasn't in the safest part of town.

Wow, some serious beard there my brother. Is that a Fuji wide Instax? I just bought the Fuji SP2 printer. Pretty fun little printer.My friend Madison (the guy I often photograph with the giant beard) took this last year during one of our photo shoots, but only recently had the film developed. I most certainly don't have a beard that size anymore.
