My friend Crow would know what these spiky things are called. Rest assured, no spiky plants were damaged in the taking of this photo.

Robert...One Year Later

Via Flickr:
I see him often and was hoping to see him again today. As I exited the train station, there he was. Our eyes met and he smiled as I approached him. "Good morning Robert", I said. "Do you know what today is?" He promptly replied, "Friday". "Do you know what else today is?" He looked at me with a puzzled expression until I told him that a year ago today we first met and I took his picture. "Then, it's our anniversary", he chuckled.

As I often do when I see Robert, I went back to McDonald's, his favorite restaurant, and bought him breakfast. When I returned, we spoke for a while about the past year. Robert told me he still has the pictures I took of him a year ago and was just looking at them this week. I asked and he agreed to let me take a few more photos.

We talked a short while longer, I wished him a good weekend and he wished me a happy anniversary. I gave him multiples of $2, we shook hands and agreed to "celebrate" again next year.

For as long as I've lived in Chicago, I cannot remember this sight at the start of Spring. So much for the great weather prognosticators who predicted one of the worst winters in recorded history. I'm glad they were wrong!

I've seen this guy standing here in the morning for several weeks now. Every day, the date changes. He doesn't look any thinner than when I first saw him. It doesn't appear that he's asking for money, so I haven't taken his picture for $2 Portraits...but I am curious about his story.
