Dear Anonymous,
This morning at zero degrees these handmade felt hats, made by two students from Portland High School with a grant from Painting For A Purpose, were a big hit.
He was shy but wanted to say thank you. So he donned a hat and gave me permission to photograph his sweet face. He was so cold when he showed up. Head down fists tight, looking like I do when the cold gets the better part of me and I am isolated in that pain.
Hot coffee. A piece of coffee cake. A sweatshirt. And he's back out 'How can we thank them?' - with Tina Clark Edwards
