Most of the surrounding buildings are abandoned including the freeway overpass. I love this kind of urban decay - I am like a kid in a candy store! <br /> <br />Check out a larger version of this shot.

He explained that he is "half blind" and that he was diagnosed with an aneurysm on the brain in 1991. He added that his wife died in 1979. Chico proudly told me that he doesn't use drug or drink.

He had been watching me photograph a homeless couple nearby and approached asking what I was doing. After I finished with the couple, I re-contacted James. James told me he was from Dallas, Texas and that he had been in trouble for fraud. He added that he had been divorced in 1993. My contact with James was brief, but he had lots of ideas for solving the problem of homelessness. <br /> <br />There are a few behind-the-scenes photos related to this portrait here.

He was willing to put up with me (and my camera) if I gave him a few bucks. Joe refused to tell me anything about himself except that he was 45 years old.

After the kids went to bed, I snuck away for sunset/nighttime photos of Haystack Rock. It was an amazing sunset - but I really went to shoot nighttime compositions! As the sun went down, the crowds of people slowly disappeared until I was left completely alone with this awesome wonder. I stayed until nearly mid-night shooting this beautiful scene.
