Hello Troy

Hi Folks.....I make it a habit to avoid making pictures of homeless folks for personal reasons. I met Troy a couple of years back and I have run into him at least a half dozen times this year as much as 30 miles apart in different directions...Our paths keep crossing. What is strange or maybe not, is that he still has the card I gave him way back when, when I gave him a care package.. So the only reason I made his image this time, let alone post it, is because he asked me too. He wants to see himself on flickr and will put him in my blog as well. Yes, homeless folks have access to the web at the many internet cafe's.

According to Troy which is his primary being, he also has an alter or as he says '' a demon'' called ''Manna''. I met Manna the first day I met him, about a year or so ago...Manna is his protector as Troy explains it to me. Yesterday when I ran into Troy, Manna was very active (and some what scary I might add) but Troy came back as he knows me and all was calm (after a sighlent prayer I might also add)...For those that follow my stream from L.A. I am sure many of you have met Troy and hopefully not Manna..If you have not met him, I am sure you will now and say hello to him and address him as Troy....He would appreciate it.

Troy, Enjoy your day in the sun and thank you for the smile :)
