Just Listen

Scott Walker November 26, 2018

He could have talked for hours, never asking me for a penny. It was as if his sign was a disguise for friendship or connection. I simply tuned in at the right time. 

One of the things he talked about was his injured leg. He told me that he got bit by a spider and the aftermath landed him in the hospital.

Today, the spider bite is healing. However, he still has trouble walking for long distances as the pain radiates from the outside of his skin inward and down to his foot. 

“One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say.”
— Bryant H. McGill

Welcome to Vegas

Scott Walker November 4, 2018

JANUARY 2018: The dark night made the neon lights appear brighter as the prostitutes, the alcoholics and tourists slowly mixed with one another like a Sunday crowd mixing in church never staring too long.

Welcome to Vegas - Good Luck

Scott Walker January 16, 2018

He is originally from Los Angeles, California, but a number of years ago decided to make the move to Las Vegas because rent is cheaper. After arriving, he was unable to find work as an artist and soon lost his eye right eye.

“How did you lose the vision in your eye,” I asked him. With a breath of cool morning air he said, “I had a microscopic infection in it and before I knew it, I couldn’t see.”

We then talked about his artwork and how it is much harder for him to draw now as opposed to before due to the blindness.

I pointed at his shopping cart, “Is everything you own right there?” He looked towards the ground with a frown, “That’s it… that’s everything.”

The 59 year old wants to get an apartment as soon as possible. Until that day happens, he will live on the streets of Vegas.

"Vegas means comedy, tragedy, happiness and sadness all at the same time." - Artie Lange, American comedian
