Out-takes, observations and other insight from South Puget Sound

"Why no face?" wondered some in our morning news meeting about this photo on page A1 last Friday.

It's because he was reluctant to be shown identifiably in the TNT.

Mostly I shot from behind him as the ladies asked survey questions about his homelessness. When he turned to go I put the camera waist high near his sign, flag, and new possessions and walked backward for a couple of steps, shooting.

The shot doesn't show the literal main element of the story-- it doesn't show the actual survey-taking. But it's the most charming shot and it does capture the mood the day's activities. Janet Jensen had the good idea of making it the main shot and using a more literal shot of survey-taking as the secondary photo next to it.
