joshua . 19 years old / denver . colorado
i am probably going to laugh every time i look at this photo. i've taken photographs of the sun in many different forms over the years, but never quite like this.
i had to go downtown to run some errands. it was another gorgeous day, so i was thoroughly enjoying being outside. after dropping off some film to be processed, i headed over to 16th street mall to find today's stranger.
i was on the phone with a friend of mine and had to interrupt him and hang up as soon as i saw the sun walking down the street. he and two tanned girls were parading down the street, promoting a tanning salon. i gave him my spiel and asked if he'd be today's subject.
he agreed, but i think it was just because he didn't care what he did while in that costume. i asked if this was his job. not surprisingly, he said yes. then i asked if he enjoyed it. he looked at me like i was an imbecile. i am guessing it's not that great, especially on 85 degree days.
we were conveniently standing near an alley, so we ducked in there to take some shots. i didn't have to shoot many today because it was pretty straightforward.
because he was working and for other obvious reasons, we didn't have a lot of time to talk. the only thing i know about joshua is that he recently moved here from florida. i suppose that qualifies him to wear the suit...
thanks, man. i appreciate your time!
