Omar is the best dressed homeless guy I know. I've been photographing him
off and on for about two years now. He's very gregarious and always seems to
have something going on, and has a cult following among college students and
local residents. He can put on a very mean drunk and is one of the very few
people I've ever seen drunk at 6:50 in the morning when I'm on my way into
work, waving the last beer of a six pack and walking a dog that nobody seems
to know the owner of. But now when he sees me he yells across the street
"hey! take a picture! i got a new hat!" -- or something like that. I've
probably taken five or six hundred photos of him. This is last wednesday. "I
don't want to die," he told me, "I love life too much."
