Broadway Cuban Refugee 1833

aei4@columbia.edu (Adam Isler Photography) — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 20:12:02 GMT

He stayed here for a couple of weeks. He told me he was waiting for a trip back to Cuba and explained that there one could get work. He also justified Castro's anti-homosexual policies but by this time the conversation had taken a kind of a ranting tone and it was getting difficult to disengage. Every now and then he reappears at this bus stop for a few days and we nod at each other, old acquaintances who needn't speak.

Broadway Redeemer 3 0208

aei4@columbia.edu (Adam Isler Photography) — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 17:13:34 GMT

They call themselves redeemers because they redeem the cans for recycling nickels. This woman was happy to let me take her picture and she made some self-deprecating jokes about her appearance when I showed her the picture on the camera.

Who on West 40th 5299

aei4@columbia.edu (Adam Isler Photography) — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 17:16:00 GMT

This is not actually on Broadway, more like 10th Avenue and 40th Street, and the irony's a little obvious, all the same...

In front of the Rite Aid at Broadway and 104th Street (Southeast corner). They were pleased to have their picture taken but eventually grew angry since the price of the picture evidently was to agree with the Socratic dialogue they attempted to draw me into. They wouldn't accept "no, thank you."
