Something tells me I should know this person, but honestly, I don’t. He’s a stranger to me, hanging in a small side street off the Plaça de la Reina, on the edge of El Carmen.
And that’s why I call him John Doe, the name given to someone unknown. I even went back specifically for him. I had first photographed him with my iPhone, but I was determined to capture him on my camera as well. He may be a stranger to me, but he stayed with me. That’s something that happens often with strangers we see in a crowd. Sometimes they stick with us, especially when there’s a hint of charisma surrounding them.
