SmugMug > keywords > homeless > I stopped for gas on the way home. As I was leaving the gas station, I spotted this lady sitting by her shopping cart. Our eyes locked and I almost missed my turn. I rode home, got my camera, and rode back the Circle K. I parked by bike and nervously walk over towards the woman. She watched me, carefully, as I approached. I extended my hand and said "Hi, My name is John" She confidently said "I'm Jackson" Me: "Can I ask you a crazy question?" Jackson: "Go Ahead" Me: "Can I take your picture? I'll give you ten bucks" Jackson: "You Bet" I placed the ten in her hand. Me: "Where ya from?" Jackson: "Everywhere" I start carefully composing the shot, and her eyes have got me nervous. I can't hold the non-IS 50mm steady. I take a deep breath. Exhale and hold. 'Click' ..Got it Me: "Where ya headed to?" Jackson:"Needles... Needles New Mexico. I heard it's nice." Me: "Yeah, San Francisco's not the friendliest place for....."(I didn't know what to say, I didn't want to offend, so I left it at that as I cleared my throat) Me: "Do you drink?" Jackson: "Only Beer" Me: "If you want I could buy ya a six pack" Jackson: "Nah.. I gotta stay sharp, but thanks for the cash" Me: "Well, good luck" Jackson: "You too" I walked over to my bike, put my helmet on and started to cry. My lips were quivering as I rode passed her. I waved. She waved back As I rode home, I took stock in my health, my wife, and my wealth. I thanked my god and felt humility and shame. "It could always be worse" The old adage goes. But some of us have no Idea what "worse" is. Enjoy life.
