Jeffrey is a homeless man that lives in my neighborhood in Upper NW. My first memory of him is from when I saw him in CVS more than a year ago. He was standing near the newspapers reading out loud. Often when I see him outside he'll be talking to himself quite loudly. He is someone that many people avoid. As I have done.

He spends most of time in the 5 short blocks between the Starbucks at Livingston St and the Metrobus station at Chevy Chase Circle, where he sleeps. But when I saw him in Adams Morgan a few weeks ago I finally said hello. Today my friend James and I ran into him at the bus stop and he asked James for a light. Then we talked about photography a little.
