I met Andy at the library. He was chaining his bike to the rack. I asked if I could take some pictures of his bike and he said "Sure", followed by about 100 sentences about his girlfriend at the halfway house and how she wanted to spend time with him that day. I noticed a shattered distance in his eyes, and a sense of striving against the odds. A proud sadness and a light grip on what I considered to be Reality. I am very pleased with this portrait. It captures him well. Very.
