Elbert

We met Elbert in the Jewelry District, where he was passing out hand-scrawled fliers and preaching a philosophy that seems to be a highly personalized version of Islam. I was taking part in the 24-Hour Project workshop and wandering the streets in the company of photographer extraordinaire Robert Stacy (visualwhiplash.com), from whom I hoped to glean some wisdom that would help me improve my street photos.

We came across Elbert at the corner of Broadway and 6th. He is 73, originally from Detroit. He moved to LA as a younger man, but left after an earthquake or two in the 70s. He eventually decided that being broke was easier in LA. Or warmer, at any rate.

He's a voluble, approachable man who declaimed at length about his life, his spiritual beliefs and his opinions on the concept of property taxes (he's not a fan). He described to us his time in jail, life in the Detroit ghettos and proclaimed that K=3.14. I hope I run into him again some time.
