Certainly not a newborn. And quite a mature face for a toddler. More of an idealized infant. I do admire the sculpture.
Right after taking this shot, the homeless guy down the street was now walking towards me. Friendly guy.
How long have you been taking photos he asked.
Now I am usually cold and ignore homeless people. He seemed harmless and in the spirit of the manger scene I stayed to speak to him.
Oh I’ve been taking photos for many years.
Isn’t it beautiful? He commented in regards to the manger scene.
Oh yes I said.
It’s a beautiful story too.
Yes it is I agreed.
He proceeded to tell me that he visited a man who had been sick and was getting better and that the man was really quite discouraged with life in general.
He encouraged the man with stories about The Lord who is responsible for all things.
And went on to say he cut his finger when repairing a refrigerator and who do you think healed his finger? Because The Lord is in charge of your immune system and he healed his finger, which he showed me and I noticed his finger nails were exceptionally long, but clean. The fact that he only had three teeth was a bit disconcerting. The pony tail tied up in rope, a bit odd. The fact that I actually stood there and listened to the guy’s rant, so out of character for me.
It wasn’t until he asked me for a hug, and I let him hug me, and that the hug lasted way too long, that I started to question my judgement.
He said he wanted to give me a CD. A Guys and Dolls CD.
Oh no I said. I already have that one, which is the truth.
I said I had to go and walked quickly to my car.
Who’s your favorite photographer he asked.
Ansel Addams I called back.
Your trunk is open.
Oh thank you I said. I ran to shut it, hopped in the car, locked the door and waved goodbye.
I drove several streets over and thought okay who can I text and tell them of this macabre incident. Is there something about shooting manger scenes that attracts odd encounters I wondered. These scenes do present unexpected entertainment. The other day I kneeled in dog poo in front of a manger scene> I learned that carrying Wet Ones in your car is a good thing and today I learned that the Lord created my immune system.
