This guy used to sit for hours on end on that very spot and let the pigeons eat off of him. He would kiss them and talk to them. They returned the favor by crapping all over him, but he didn't seem to mind. He was struck and killed by a van just weeks after I got this shot.
Search "Pigeon Man Chicago" for stories on his life and death, and even poems to him.
