classic, truly classic...


so... morgan's been digging through old photo albums and scanning pictures up to facebook. she came across an old favorite that i had almost forgotten - captured in a public square in guayaquil, ecuador - circa 1990-1991.

there is so much going on here...

- the contrast between an almost-glowing, towheaded morgan and the aging, something-less-than-well-bathed park regular (presumed).

- the further and startling contrast between morgan's all-too-white tennis shoes and the old dude's scarred and crusty bare feet.

- the strange, impromptu cupped-hand periscope through which the latter seems to be examining morgan.

- the iguana feasting on watermelon at morgan's feet, or the other one starting down the tree to get his fill.

- and, of course, perhaps most entertaining, the bizarre pepsi-branded signage admonishing park visitors not to mistreat the iguanas.
