Jim,
I wonder what would have been his reaction if you had asked him right now and
then, upfront, that you wanted some shots of him?  I'd like to have your guts
(can one write it this way in English?) 'cause I've been thinking for some
time now about reaching in the South East side of Washington D.C. to document
these people way of living.  Someday I hope to find an organization that needs
to document the street people in their environment and just bget the
assignment.
