I’ve been shooting $2 Portraits for over 6 years and never has it happened where I’ve run into the same subject in a different city…until now. Walking through the Palm Desert Flea Market, I encountered a person who looked familiar. To my surprise, I reconnected with Frank, a gentleman I first photographed in Albuquerque back in May 2016. It was great to hear that Frank’s second wife took him back and they recently relocated to Palm Springs where he joined on part time with the Forest Service. After all the California wild fires this year, Frank spends much of his time around local hiking venues promoting fire safety.
We recounted his other stories from 18 months ago. Frank told me he still has his penchant for Starbucks but after reconnecting with his second wife, his passion for younger women has moved up a decade into the 60’s. I told Frank we come to Palm Desert twice a year and will search him out next March; perhaps even having a dinner with he and his wife. We chatted for awhile; then $2 and a Starbucks later, parted ways. What a coincidence!
