#002 The Moral Is the Story
I noticed him working from a bike loaded with everything he needed and assumed I knew his story.
I didn’t.
We talked for a while. He told me he creates gospel music for his mother, spends his days here by choice, and describes himself as an unincorporated citizen of the community.
Photography keeps teaching me the same lesson: the story is usually different than the one we invent from a distance.
Have you ever met someone who completely changed your first impression?
