He asked me to take his photograph when he saw the camera in my hand, insisting upon putting on his white jacket before I did, and he asked for money when I took the shot, I did.

Seems he doesn't like shoes. He has holes in his sox from walking in them lol. Nice candid. No real point giving C&C on technique. Wayne

And I dont think he was wanting a picture so it can be 'documented' he was once here...hes probably (and most likely) suffering from dementia and who knows he could honestly think he was modeling for you.
