I met Mouse when he saw me taking photos of his unattended shopping cart parked up against a brick wall.
He carefully navigated lanes of rushing cars when he crossed over from his 'island' in the middle of a busy traffic intersection and asked me if I thought it was: "Classy, huh?"
All his items were very neatly folded. I could see an organization of colored layers through the cart wire.
His cardboard sign said he had heart problems - he told me he has 7 stents in his heart. He added that his grandmother named him "Mouse" years ago because he used to steal cheese snacks from her house.
As he proudly posed, he grinned and told me - years ago he was an artist and took photos of the homeless in the early morning hours, while they slept on the old wooden loading docks where vegetables were unloaded from trucks.

I'm glad you included this one. It's one of my favorites.
How about the one about the guy in the Wal-Mart parking lot? That one was really good.
Keep them coming.
