Every suitcase has a story - a photo on Flickriver

Every suitcase has a story

            Last night, I decided to try my rented Ricoh GR III in low light. At the Menlo Park train station, I met the gentleman pictured with the well-worn pink suitcase. He seemed to be a tad out of sorts, perhaps homeless, and wondered if I had any water. I grabbed him one from the emergency kit in my car, and he was appreciative. 

I took this photo while he was waiting to board. The arriving train provided light. In hindsight, as he was talkative, I wish I had asked a bit more about his journey. The suitcase probably had a story to tell, too.
