Description


---
Yesterday I photographed a "cool" event at the Red Cross House in Philadelphia, unique "recovery" facility for people who have been displaced from their homes by disaster, usually home fires. Yesterday Red Cross House staff, volunteers, and local celebrities distributed 400 Thanksgiving turkeys to neighborhood people. In this photo, Red Cross House Director, Chad Lassiter leads World Champion Middleweight boxer on a tour of the facility. Another world champion boxer, Danny Garcia is about to turn the stairway corner.

I don't know exactly why this is so appealing to me, Michelle, but it is. The angle is great, but mostly it's the absolutely candid moment in a day's activity that grabs and holds on. #1553992
