Im having a bit of an Artistic Craving and had an idea for
Surreal Photos of Life in America as a homeless person.
I was homeless as a child for about a year or so living in and out of shelters
and tents, Thank God for ZIlker Park in Austin Tx.
Mom told us we were just going camping smile we liked camping.

I want to help open some eyes with my mind, people are dying on the streets of phoenix.
Some people prefer the "Off the grid" on the streets life, they are not who im trying to
capture. There are people I see every day wearing the same clothes walking the same street doing the same thing 7 days a week,

Like this guy i call Phill, Dont know if that's his real name i just made it up cuz he looks like
a Phill. The first time i noticed Phill he was laying out by the wash off of the 101 and 7th av exit. I was heading home for lunch and he was sprawled out like a dead body not moving a muscle. I slowed down to a crawl, then i stopped... Stared... waited for him to even flinch.... He didn't. After about 3 minutes I honked my horn looong and loud... Nothing. I was just about to call the cops and say there's a dead guy out here when finally he wiggled a little. I put my phone down and went home for a sandwich.
I see "Phill" every day now in the same black pants and leather jacket, skin red as a freshly picked tomato, burned from the scorching phoenix sun. He walks the same path at the same time on 7th st every day, He goes and sits at the now dry wash for 10 hours wile i work and i pass him walking south bound at 5pm to where ever he goes at night.

I am going to try to capture Phill on Camera, I am going to Stop him one of these days and ask to take his photo and Hopefully not to get murdered smile Anyone in your daily routine that deserves a photograph?

I shot a bunch of the homeless in St. Louis and found a great way to approach them is to just ask. Good luck getting Phil on camera.
