I took this picture in San Diego earlier this month – the city has an excellent tram-car/mass transit system running all the way down to the Mexican border. I took this picture because I was fascinated by the woman with the suitcase and bags – why was she wearing the overcoat and those thick boots on what was a stinking hot afternoon? Was she homeless or just eccentric – there were plenty of both about in San Diego, including an elderly guy in a motorised wheelchair, sporting a luminous pink mohican haircut on his head and flying a pennant on his chair saying he was 'bad to the bone'. He zoomed past me so fast on the street I couldn't get my camera focussed on him before he was gone. Bad to the bone and fast to the bone.
