I thought he might have been homeless--sweaty but clean, lugging all his worldly possessions in a huge duffel bag and fanny pack. His forced smile seemed troubled and harried; perhaps sleep-deprived.
I pondered the randomness for a second and then obliged.
"Okay," I replied. "Sure." Since I had my camera in my jeans pocket (as I pretty much always do), it was a convenient request.
"Oh man, thank you," he said. "Maybe a close up, then a full length body shot, then one without the bags?"
"Yeah, no problem."




I told him I would send them off in a half hour. And I did. A quick google search for his email address turned up this expired Portland Craigslist ad, still lingering in the search engine cache:

Feels like a true, sad mystery. Glad I didn't blow him off.
Hope the photos help him.
Wow - crazy story/request. And in light of that, great photos. Here's to hoping he finds what he needs.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be interesting to see what a follow up e-mail would hold... but then again, I'd hate to find out he's still down on his luck. The story, coupled with the photos makes me very empathetic towards the situation. Good job.
