WatchMeet Al. He saved up a long time to get his song book. He takes care of his physically-handicapped girlfriend of 3 years, Sharon, with whom he lives with on Temple Street. We first met in November along with Ricardo & Little Women. He is usually camera shy, but on this day, he was waiting for me to take out my camera. I had no SD card with my Canon S95, so I shot him with my 2-year old...

“You’re like the strongest, wildest, and coolest girl I’ve ever met.”
– That must be an overstatement. Currently I am the weakest, weakest, and weakest.
Physically, emotionally, mentally.
