Unphotographable

April 15, 2008

This is a photo I did not take of a Native Alaskan man with bright silver hair and bushy mustache, wearing a winter jacket, backpack, white tennis shoes, white socks, and the shortest of denim cutoff shorts, standing at a bus stop on this 34-degree morning while rubbing his bare legs together, looking at once like a child who needs to use the potty and Richard Simmons.

this makes me sad...why no photo?

Didn't have my camera with me. And I was just driving by.

Well, your words speak the picture very clearly... I admit I completely SAW the picture even without the picture. Good poetry!
I'm not even sure I want to actually see the picture... He sounds kinda sad.
