.special olympics.
I shot the NJ Special Olympics in today, came across an interesting character while shooing softball from the dugout. Joseph lives (and plays softball for) a center for people with developmental disabilities. He is seizure prone and must wear a helmet when walking around. We chatted a while. Here are some b/w tones of that and some daily stuff...

Hey Joe...

Good catch on Joseph. He seems like an interesting guy. The first of jo and the last special olympics picture are really nice home boy. I like the last frame a lot. Good angle and I like how you framed it. So whats your verdict on Newark? Baller or scary as shit?

Joe's face seems very similar to Bea Wallace's guy from the River story.
