My son and I were driving through the intersection of Coliseum Boulevard and Goshen Road (US-33) in Fort Wayne when we saw this young man panhandling on one of the islands in the middle of the intersection.
His sign says: "Too Ugly To Be A Hooker."
His name is Jason Ball, though he prefers to be called Wanigi, a name he says a Native American friend gave him. Wanigi is from Mishawaka, Indiana but he has traveled all over the midwest. He described himself as "home-free" rather than homeless, but didn't tell me why he was without a home.
After I photographed Wanigi, we talked for a few minutes until a police officer came by and ran us off.

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.
