I came closer and asked him if I could take his picture. He looked at me, smiled, said he was pleased to have his picture taken, as he didn't have any money to do it in a professional photographer. Then, he asked me to wait a minute, while he was combing his beard and tried to make his scarf and coat look as good as posible, sit up strait, and said: I'm ready, missy!
Sou portuguesa, e entendi perfeitamente! :) De facto, fiquei impressionada como, apesar de só na vida e aparentemente abandonado, ele mantinha o brio de se "arrumar" para ficar bonito na foto. Obrigada!
não tenho palavras em inglês pra esse velhinho... hehehe simplesmente... imaginar ele se arrumando é muito fofo... 7!
PS: Não sei se você é brasileira ou portuguesa... não sei se portugueses entenderiam com perfeição o que qui dizer, no entanto... se houver duvida... pergunte...
this is an interesting subject, and the fact that the model leans unphysiologically adds to the story it tells - it's rare to meet self-conscious destitutes like this gentleman these days...
