My very favorite experience didn’t even make it into any of the footage for either of the treks. I was walking down by Veteran’s Park just after sunset and there were probably about five groups of guys ranging in age from ten to seventy all fishing from over a wall. The fish were jumping right out of the water and the men were either reeling them in or “letting” them get away. It was fun to ease-drop on their conversations and make assumptions about their lives and relationships. I was collecting images for trek two at the time and though I have a few pictures, most are too dark/blurry to be or any real use. The reason I was so affected by the experience was the definite sense of community I could feel just by being there. Even thought the men came from different backgrounds, races, and classes, in that moment everyone wanted the same thing.
