High-res
#KeyWest #Florida #2003 Fiona and I were wintering in Florida. We met this guy Fross Maruti. He had this thing “The Free #Portrait #Studio”And he made this #pastel of me. After everything that happened I was sure he was some kind of #scammer. What did he want? A #Date? #Money? #Drugs? It was inconceivable to me that someone could do something nice just to be nice and not for some other #motive. I didn’t really get it, but he was probably the most straightforward person I’ve ever met. I guess he cashed in big on the #dotcoms or something, and he was really just doing what he loved. He had a shop. You came and hung out. Or you didn’t. I had been so #burned and so hurt because of my #innocence and #naïveté. And I vowed never to be so stupid and so taken advantage of again. And then I met this simple, honest, #generous guy. And I wasn’t capable of believing him. I wasn’t capable of taking things for the simple beauty of what they were.
