I remember he was a Vet. More than likely he was a salty-ass Vietnam Vet dressed like a big white-rabbit for children. How strange. Don’t recall. I do remember it was a VFW near Flint, MI. I almost never tell Veterans that I am one of them too, I prefer to be unknown. Much like how you can shoot an assignment for hours and end up only having one random photo lodged in a hard drive to remind you of the experience. All the people become faceless in memory… reduced to an emotional or visual topography that you navigated for X hours; I walked here, I waited there, I squirmed this way for this photo of whomever. I probably took a picture of the War Rabbit and a child that ran in the paper the next day that made someone happy or embarrassed. Maybe his long lost father saw it and was ashamed. Maybe the kids at school ridiculed him. Maybe this child was staring at me as I worked and a few minutes later they cut their finger and will forever associate the two until we meet again. Maybe at a gas station in North Dakota and maybe they will hate me and they won’t be able to figure out how so. I do hope.

I don’t know this man’s name. He was raking dirt in a walmart parking lot in Ohio. I don’t speak Spanish so we said nothing, I just took a quick couple of pictures. His face intrigued me, he could be in the movies.

A few from my drive from Ohio to California this past November. It would have been nice if everything I owned wasn’t crammed into my struggling 1980 Benz because it was my first time in Kansas and it definitely warrants further exploration. It was like a mecca of Americana gems.

After a long time, I’ve decided to start a blog. I’ve been holding out because I wanted to be sure I was ready to generate material consistently. Now is as good a time as ever. As a start to this blog, I’ll be slowly strip-mining my archives. This frame is from 2005, Yountville Veterans Home, Calif.
