friday afternoon lunch rush

missy and i were rushing down jefferson towards the chicago art institute. it was a lovely friday afternoon in september. it was also the lunch hour and people were pushing past with somewhere to get to in a hurry. we were caught in the stream of clicking heels and ringing cell phones. i stopped dead in my tracks and looked to my left. this delightful man was utterly engrossed in his paper and oblivious to the chaos mere feet from his stand. i shot this one photo and leaped across the street dodging a car or two to catch up with missy.

i'd completely forgotten this man. i'm so glad i took his picture. :)
