a new year

vendor, Frederiksted, St. Croix  2016

Happy New Year! In St Croix last week at a J'ouvert festival and huge steel drum bands played while people ate and danced, and everywhere you turned there was more to be seen. But amidst all that, this man in his sandal stall with his wistful dreaming eyes stayed with me the most. I'm back in Chicago now but I wish him and all of us a happy 2016!
