He Met God

Posted by BLISTR (Edmonton, Canada) on 31 August 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

I wrongly assumed he was homeless. He told me he met God.

He was pushing a cart full of cans that he had found picking through the trash cans in my neighborhood. With a heavy French-Canadian accent he said he was an artist looking for materials and that I should come to his house to photograph his work. Indeed, he owned a home less than two blocks from where we were standing.

He told me he was in Quebec City 25 years ago and had a chance meeting with God on the street. They had a brief but important conversation. I believed him.
