Amazingly fruitful trip!

Yo Steven,

This photo was taken around 3AM, if not later. I had drank at three bars, one restaurant and a private home, so I was beyond fucked up by this point. I was so fucked up, in fact, I accidentally erased several hours of photos from a memory card and shot right over it. Shit happens is right.

I tailed this lady for several blocks and shot several dozen images of her. "You're taking pictures of me!"

Luckily, I didn't get a chance to meet her pimp.

Even without the lost photos, I have many more coming of New Orleans, as well as Detroit, Houston and Chicago, so it was a fruitful trip, though a bit rough. I stayed in hotel for six days, slept on bus or train for five.

On the Greyhound from Houston to New Orleans, I couldn't lean my seat back because the lady behind me was so large, or so she claimed. "I'm long, baby. Long!"

In Houston, this homeless Vietnam vet was having flashbacks.

"They're the fightingest motherfuckers I've ever seen. You should be proud!"

"It wasn't me, man," I told this dude.

"You should be proud of your ancestors. They were the fightingest motherfuckers!"
