Manny

Manny, Morrisons, West Kirby

This is Manny, Manny sells the Big Issue outside Morrisons in West Kirby. He’s been doing it for a while, over a year or so and over the time Sarah and I have got to know him. Its wierd but he kind of went through Sarahs pregnancy with us, turns out I think he was the first person (bar our folks) to find out Sarah was pregnant and so for 9 months, he would always stop and chat to us, offer solid pregnancy advice and ask how we were and what not, now Erins here, he’s seen the whole process and continues to talk with us for 5-10 mins before and after we go shopping and regardless of if we buy a copy or not.

Anyway I’ve been wanting to photograph him for a while, he’s one of the most friendly guys you’ll meet. If you’re in WK and see him, talk to him, its worth it. Got a few other shots of him that will make an appearance somewhere soon. :)

    Great shot Matt – black and white treatment has really brought out the details.

    Like the new look blog too!

    Brilliant photo of Manny! I and my wife always stop and chat to Manny, buy the Big Issue and get him a bite to eat. He is one of the best people we have ever met. A ray of sunshine in our redneck town! Wish he would move over here with his family. Keep the photos coming!
