Manuel
Manuel
Atlanta, Ga., 1986
Years ago when I lived in Atlanta I would spend hours photographing in Oakland Cemetery in downtown Atlanta. The neighborhood surrounding the cemetery was very interesting and as I was leaving one day I saw this small boy standing beside this abandoned building and I was struck by the graphic elements in play. We chatted for a few minutes and he told me that his name was Manuel and he was looking forward to the end of the school year in just a couple of days. I took the photograph and went on my merry way and never saw Manuel again. (Look closely and you'll see that his shirt is on backwards!)
