A drug addict, clearly altered, sweating profusely and spitting venom toward anyone who makes eye contact, stumbles aimlessly through a crowded strip mall parking lot.

As I train my long lens on him and shoot a few surreptitious images, I'm reminded why I'm lucky to lead the life I lead, and why we need to do a better job looking out for others.
