CELL PHONE SET #4










Cell Phone Photography set # 4. Just the details again. I hope you are enjoying my poetry. The top photo is Leslita Salazar. She has no clue that I took this picture last summer. I took it on 9th Street just south of Washington. This was about an hour after a black kid on a bicycle got shot across from La Lupe for bickering with a road-ragering group of 3 honkies a block souther than here. This was during the half-time of a soccer game Nick Cribbets & I were watching at the beer-convenience store at 9th & Washington. A Chinese man runs the place, mostly only Mexicans hang out in there, take shots & drink Corona's. It was the South American Cup or whatever, something like Ecuador vs. Mexico. It was a hot summer day. I ate a burrito, Nick ate corn on the cob with chili power on it & we both got real drunk. P.S. the building behind her on the other side of the street is now torn down.
This leads us to the second photo. I think it was taken on the same day. The Virgin Guadalupe art piece.
The 3rd & bottom photo tells a very intriguing story. The man hanging is named "Party Boy". He was lured and/or tricked into getting hung from the ceiling in a harness by a quarter ton motor that usually holds up a big metal bleacher. He was told he had to go up & fix something. He went along not knowing that there was nothing to actually fix. As you can see he had lost one of his shoes on the ride up. The smiling man on the ground has it next to him & Party Boy is pointing down at it. On-lookers looking on, me capturing the whole charade.
