Christmas outtake

Being that I’m the low man (intern) in the photo department, I worked on Christmas this year. My second assignment Christmas morning was to photograph the scene over at the South Side Mission where volunteers were preparing meals to deliver to the needy along with an in-house meal. Because of an earlier assignment, I showed up at the mission as they were preparing to serve the in-house meal in the afternoon. I shot this feature of a guy reading our newspaper as he waited for the meal to start. What struck me about it is that it’s a desk chair without a desk. It’s kind of a quirky little thing that I noticed.
