Thursday, 31 March 2011 at 18:58 (New Orleans, LA)
an older man rode up on his bicycle asking "is this for anyone to write on?"
after receiving confirmation he picked up a piece of chalk and began to write. as he rode away i read the words "Before I die I want to..... watch my grand kids do well" I cried a little (of course) and didn't get a picture. But the emotion I experienced within that moment is much better than any photograph would have been.
While living in New Orleans for, give or take, 7 months I came across some pretty cool things. Some that I will remember and some that will escape my memory as if it never happened. Feeling the love this man projected as he wrote, re-read, and road away is why I will always remember this moment.
