I had just parked the car, as I grabbed my gear this guy pops his head around that colorful pole, says " You want to take my picture?" The D80 was ready to go in .18 second {hahaha} There you go...10mm.

Marcos,as I soon found out is homeless,out of work,and partially disabled.A lifetime resident of SanJose, this guy is absolutely the happiest most positive person I ever met.
He is not a panhandler, did not ask for a single penny.
So...After a couple of snaps, laughs... he cheerfully says " be good " and walks away.
Great attitude,a happy go lucky chap.There was a special message,a lesson to be learned from meeting this man.It sure got me thinkin'.
