while working in hollywood, i met robert while i was out in the backalley smoking. a genuinely nice person, he wanders the street travelling from city to city.

born in haiti and raised in new york city, he is now visiting l.a. until he decides it's time to move on to a new place. he survives by creating jewelry out of random junk and materials he finds.

since i was at work, i didn't have much time to talk to him further. i gave him a little bit of herb and in return, he gave me a necklace made from part of a lock which currently dangles from my rear view mirror.
