I was waiting online at the ATM when I saw this gentlman walk past. He was walking slowly and he had these massive glasses on. I snapped this photo of him and then waited for him to pass by the door so that I could get a better one.
Unfortunatly, these guys got in the way and I couldn't see his face.
I went to the ATM and got my cash out. With no real plans for the afternoon I tried to find this guy and get a photo of him. He walked slowly and I found him a little ways down Grand St. I began to follow him, thinking of whether or not I would have the courage to ask to photograph him. He moved very slowly, like a giant turtle, eventually I passed him.
I stopped at the street corner that he was inching towards. I began to take photos of things near the corner, hoping that as he walked he would walk into the frame I was shooting and it wouldn't be suspicious.
He did walk right into the frame and I got this close up of him and I realized he didn't have an eye, but instead something to cover up where his eye had been.
After realizing he didn't have an eye I didn't think I could ask for his photograph. I watched him as he walked away. He eventually went into a kosher bakery which was across the street.
