New York, interesting people


The first time I was in New York I had the same feelings as Marc told. A mix of surprise and dejà-vu. I was excited every time I saw peculiar people, because New York is plenty of interesting people. When you are in New York you can take pictures to a naked cowboy in the middle of the street or is possible to talk with an old man with a pink dress worried about his puppy dressed with the same clothes as him.
I took this picture in Central Park, in Strawberry Fields. This is a place really near from Dakota building, the place were John Lennon was murdered. And at this place it's site a memorial to John Lennon. When I arrived there, I was exhausted and I decided to rest a bit. Lots of people were taking a few minutes looking at the memorial, taking some pictures and leaving quickly the area, looking for more touristic places to visit. Suddenly I saw the man of the picture and I thought that he looked like The Big Lebowski. It's not only that he looks like this character, is more than this. Is his dog, the music, the flowers, his apparence or all together but suddently I thought that he was there for any important reason. I stayed there long enough and I left relaxed with the feeling that I had honored the memory of John Lennon. Some days later, when I was in Barcelona I remembered this man, I searched Strawberry fields on internet and I found that: http://wn.com/The_Mayor_of_Strawberry_Fields_Gary_has_lived_at_John_Lennon%27s_Imagine_Memorial_for_14_years
