Meet Alex. I came across him during a walkabout with my friend Lora recently. He works at Kaplans Bakery on North 3rd Street in Philadelphia, PA as a bread carver. The entire block was filled with the smell of sweet bread cooking in the oven. Too bad they were closed by the time we walked past or I would have bought my weight in pastries. Alex was on his break in the delivery truck out back. He was having a cigarette and listening to the radio when I walked up. I asked if he would mind if I took his portrait and he took a drag and laughed through his teeth, saying it was cool as long as he didn’t have to move. Perfect. Take a look.
