As I was getting off the train, the man sitting next to me, Seņor Leo Torres, asked me to take his picture when he got off the train. This is his first time in Chicago - and only for four hours. He started his route taking busses from Monterey, Mexico, to Houston. Then he took the train to Washington, DC, to visit his son for a few days. Since he had never been to New York City before, he then headed up from Union Station to Penn Station to spend a few days in the Big Apple. Then yesterday, he started his long trek back home via Chicago.
Even though we didn't talk that much during the trip, I felt humbled that he asked me to take his picture. He was just using a disposable camera, and even though I doubt I will ever see that picture, I'm pretty sure that will be the most memorable photograph that I will have taken during this trip.
