Description While out of town I ran across this gentleman as I was taking foto's of the concrete jungle/city that surrounded me (he was walking towards me). He had a voice of an angle (he was singing), eyes so green, a muzik player plugged in his ear, and looked as though he wanted to 'tell me his story'. I almost asked, I almost hinted but I just couldn't. I do not know why.......

I started to put my camera and tripod away as not to disturb or make him feel indifferent; then began to walk away. He then gave me this "take my foto" look. So I lifted my camera to my face and he just stood there in a pose like state with a slight grin on his face as though being satisfied with my taking the time to pay him attention. He stood there at the corner as though he was waiting for the light to change so he could cross the street but he didn't. Two signal changes of the light and he just stood there smiling. I told him to have a beautiful day and he said, "I have, I have" (he wasn't facing me at the time). He then glanced back at me with a beautiful smile and said, "Thank you." and then walked away. And of course I smiled too.

I will never know anymore about this man outside than those few moments in time... but, I will tell you; that he has infected my life forever.

(And if anyone is wondering, yes he is homeless)

I completely love the story that goes with this.
How wonderful, a story of a pure encounter with human nature. I know what you mean, about it affecting you forever. Likely, you've done the same for him.
