EX-TEACHER, JANITOR, COWBOY (I)



Besides the daily assignments, I'm also doing a project about Collis Crayton, a former teacher who now works as a janitor at a high school in Decatur. I met Collis while shooting a basketball game at that school. Besides his formal job, he's the president (and a bit of do-it-all) of a quarter horse club.
Maybe I should narrow my story down to either his work as a janitor or as a horse carer-breeder-lover, but for now I'm doing both. I just like the contrast...

I'm posting here a few of my first images. Any ideas/suggestions will be very welcome.

poco que aportarte, cuando eres tú el que nos asombra

buenas fotos de verdad, y me reafirmo en lo que te dije hace tiempo: nos cuentan historias, y eso no es fácil

Las fotos son buenísimas, Jero, y además es verdad que cuentan cosas... ¡Enhorabuena! Un abrazo!!

Do both. How many people walk by that guy and see him as a janitor who goes home and watches TV after work, or never even think about what he does after work at all? This could be a lesson on why you should talk to strangers.

Desde luego, aparte de la calidad fotográfica es que te lo cuentan todo, no hace falta ni texto.

Uf, qué gozada empezar la semana con tus pedazo de fotos, Jero.
