I feel like Alec Soth, maybe…
I had to go back an photograph this… the guy on the right was just standing in front of this big purple building. In my car, I sped past the scene only to turn around after a mile. I asked the gentleman on the right if I could photograph him, he didn’t understand and seemed anxious to get inside. The door was locked and he was trying to get up with his friend inside. Soon enough the guy on the left came outside, asked some questions… I told him I was doing a project on Greenville people or something and he allowed me to take the image. I’ll go back next time with a print.
