RockStar

This is one of what seems like 10,000 crack (rock) dealers within 100 feet of my front door (no kiddin').

This guy is a cut above though, as he wheels around on his bike -- just like this;glasses upside down, crack pipe in his mouth.

Talkin' to him you realize he's a really bright guy, great sense of humor, a possible friend if it wasn't for the habit.

And the habit is what a lot of these users talk about -- how their gonna kick and go back to their family, school, jobs -- they usually say it just ain't fun being a RockStar no more.

Sadly, in the mean time, they keep on doing the things they gotta do to stay high. And if that means selling crack to your 14 year old daughter -- well, so be it.

Interesting story and photograph. Sad but true...

Think about moving. The shot is interesting. Made me stop and look.

I love this picture, Jim! Its Brilliant! I particularly lke how the glass relection illustrating a place without having a disturbing background competing with the subject. It sort of reminds me of one of my pictures - the fellows.

I do have Feedback! I wonder if you might want to send a larger file! It is hard to tell what is going on in the reflected image of the sunglasses. Which in my opinion is what distinguishes this image from good to excellent. I also think your ability to build a relationship with him, is equally as important.

Hi Jim,

I have been marvelling at this photograph for the last fifteen minutes. In my opinion its your best photograph and its outstanding! I admire your work! Time for me to finish developing pictures for my paying clients!

Really compelling portrait. All the moreso with the backstory you've provided. I like the effects you've put on this (stoner's eye view, maybe?). I guess I need to get out more because I was unfamiliar with the term "rockstar" in this context.
