Michael & James on St. Patrick's Day Near Mashti Malone's I was strolling around my beloved little hamlet under the big sign known as Hollywood yesterday, stopping in at my pal Henry Diltz's glorious gallery of photos, Morrison Hotel, in the "rock and roll strip" of Sunset near Gardner. I decided to walk over the Mashti Malone's ice cream parlor around the corner from Sunset at La Brea, quite close to Chaplin's old studio. I love Mashti's, not for the rosewater ice cream - their specialty - but for the beautiful Turkish-Irish fusion of their name. Mashti. Malone. Their sign has Turkish letters - I think those are Turkish- and a shamrock. Happy Muslim St. Patty's Day. But I digress. But I always digress. My life is one long digression. But that's another. So there I am, taking photos of the Mashti Malone sign from up a red metal staircase- and there is Michael, sitting on the ground, watching me, headphones slung around his neck, smoking a cigarette. As always, I felt he was more interesting than the thing on which I first focused. We started talking. He asked me about my camera, how much it cost, and was flabbergasted when i told him. I asked if I could take his photo looking down at him, and he agreed, but suggested his lot in life would be lightened if I could donate to his beer fund. Only a handful of change more was required for a Tecate. I gave my donation, we talked more, he went off for his libation and I in search of my next photo. There was James on Gardner, off of Sunset, sitting in shadows, looking not unlike Jesus, except that James was smoking and Jesus, as far as I know, was not a smoker. Of course, I've been wrong before. About everything. I asked James how he was and he said, "I've been better." He was on a ragged rose blanket with belongings in sacks around him and wildflowers growing in bushels behind him. Of course I got around to the inevitable invitation to be photographed, and he said, sure, but could I possibly come up with a dollar forty? "A dollar forty," I repeated. "Interesting figure. Why a dollar forty?" "Because that's how much I need for what I want." "What do you want?" "If I told you, you wouldn't give it to me." "No," I said. "That's not true. Do you want a beer?" It was very hot though only March. I was parched too. The sun can be brutal in Hollywood. A beer sounded pretty damn reasonable to me, especially if your life is being lived in the streets. "Yeah," he said somewhat sheepishly. "Hey, I got no problem with beer," I said. "Beer is a mitzvah." "Mitzvah?" "A blessing. From God. To keep us happy." "Yeah. God. Right on, dude." Just then, appearing as if from smoke, was Michael. He greeted me as if we were old pals, which in the life of the streets, we were. "Dude!" he said. "Mr. Photo dude!" Then he told James how I requested he pose for me, and how I snapped away. "I'm just here giving out my money," I said, giving James a dollar and two quarters. He smiled. A beer in his future proximity. A little relief. A mitzvah. "I work hard for this money, you know," but we all laughed, and no one believed I did, even me. Though I do. Sometimes. I asked if I could take their photo together, and Michael said, "You already got mine," but I told them a shot of two friends together would be best, and James told him to hurry up and sit down. I took some shots. They both asked why I wanted them. "You just walk around taking photos of everyone?" Michael asked. Yes. I do. Told them it was my job. I gave them each a card - my cards have some of my portraits on them, including photos of Veronica & Eliza Bane, both very beautiful women. Michael lit up like a lightning bolt when he saw their faces. "Who's this?" he asked. When I told him he said, "Can I lick this?" "The card?" "No, the babe!" I told him I'd see what i can do. And I bid them farewell, and they were both warm and genial - and we were off on our separate paths through this Hollywood, this Los Angeles, this March of 2007. Xcorps10HAWAII Xcorps #10.)
