Coleman


Coleman, originally uploaded by unxpektd.

Today I went back to the heart of skid row to take some photographs. I met this man named Coleman, a cancer patient. We talked for about thirty minutes, mostly on his previous career as a painter. While we were talking another man came and sat about five yards from us and smoked his crack. When the man was done he got up and walked off in the original direction he was heading while me and Coleman continued talking. Coleman did give me some food for thought. He said, "before you change something or get rid of something first find out why it's there." I told Coleman that I'd be seeing him around, for it was time for me to get back to work.
