Working on spreadsheets for hours on end in a downtown Los Angeles high-rise, one of my favorite stress relievers is to grab the travel Nikon camera I keep in my backpack and head out at lunch to see what sights the city has to offer and on this particular day I chanced upon the subject of my photo, asleep on the sidewalk. A jarring sight in the bright daylight of a workday lunch hour, even in LA, the man’s prone figure and obvious plight never crossed my mind as a photo opportunity. But, as I passed, the sight of that apple, a bright red symbol of health sitting on the dirty sidewalk so close at hand but seemingly so far beyond his reach, filled me with a sense that I needed to capture that moment. Fighting the feeling that I was invading the man’s privacy, I turned around just long enough to frame and focus a single shot and then quickly turned and headed back to my clean and shiny office building in a far different world than the one which lay just a little further south and west than I had ever been before - or since.
