“I think he’s looking up the part about his refusing to assent to laws.” I started framing the shot without saying anything, which was all it took for the guy on the left to look up from his phone. I explained that the flags and bunting made for an all-American image — wouldn’t that be a good shot? (Photographer’s tip: Play to your subjects’ sentiments.)

The plight of the homeless is low-hanging fruit for a camera, and perhaps many or most of us in the early moments of the hobby succumb to the story. I did. Should the picture be avoided because it’s bordering on cliché? Or is it deemed cliché because we’re tired of seeing it? This is the corner of 18th & Walnut Sts., one of the city’s toniest. Only one person in this frame is really hungry. (1989)
