sam . 23 years old / denver . colorado
on my way down the street, i saw sam. he came out of a small courtyard onto 13th street. i walked by him and then stopped, turned around, and gave him my pitch.
he was on his way to work as a cook at earl's - a restaurant downtown. i had never heard of earl's until today, when someone told me it was pretty swanky. he only had a few minutes, so it was pretty lucky that that is all i needed.
it was a little bit chilly today, but probably much more appropriate weather for the season. and it was cloudy. we actually got some rain last night - the first time we've had any since i moved here one month ago. i met sam at around 5.00, so there was not an abundance of light. then i asked him if we could step into his courtyard to take the pictures, but had the challenge of even less light in there. we made it work.
sam didn't say much. he was very passive. i don't think i saw him smile and i'm not sure he even thought this experience was interesting. maybe i am wrong, though. at any rate, he did exactly what i asked him to do.
the background for the two shots is different today. that's because i asked sam to sit on the steps for the second, but there was even less light in there! i should go out earlier to shoot. tomorrow. tomorrow i will go out earlier.
i asked if he liked working down at earl's and he said "it pays the bills". hmmm... i should try finding something that pays the bills.
well, thanks for joining me today, sam!
