the Daily Photo - One day, one photograph
Bob Michaels
Chief Eagle, temporary resident of High Springs FL
I found Chief Eagle living in this broken down motel, his stay paid for by the local police who found him in a park. He swears he is full blooded Apache and a National Guard vet. His mother died giving birth to him and he was abandoned by his step family over an incident with a black prostitute. Not because she was a prostitute but because she was black. (OK, "black prostitute" is the PC equivalent for his description) He has spent most of his time in mental hospitals and jails for petty crimes. Now he has found religon and goes where the " voices in his head" tell him. He did show me his state ID card indicating his name really is "Chief Eagle". And I experienced the "voices in his head" first hand.
Actually I was photographing the door when he came out and sat down in the scene.
