Everyday People

Stan on Randolph Street, long-time veteran of tough Chicago winters...

In honor of the infinitely quotable Abraham Lincoln whose birthday it is today, here's a good one: "Common-looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them..." (Happy Birthday, Honest Abe! Thank you, Stan!)

    Great quote to honor Abe's birthday. Nice shot. These are the kind of shots I love best.

    Thank you Ineke, Jen and Jilly. I don't know if Stan will ever get to see this... He was very sweet and nice about having his photo taken...

    Good portrait. I have just joined a flickr project called 100 Strangers. So now I have to make contact with 100 strangers, get to know them and take their photo!
