Yesterday, sprinting back to my house after realizing I had forgotten something, I met Manuel. He was hanging out on my street, leaning on his large rusty pipe like a walking staff, and leisurely sifting through cardboard boxes (there is no recycling system for cardboard in Chile).
I couldn't resist trying to talk to him. Manuel has lived in Valparaiso for his entire life, and though he has not left, he can't imagine a better place to be.
A really friendly guy, and a really enormous hat.
If you are interested in really great "found-people" photos like this, you should definitely check out the blog of my friend Foster.
That hat is the most incredible thing I've seen since scanned sandwiches (see my blog). party on
