so i met this cashier

the first time i went to Ok Natural food store there was this older man at the register. He was extremely friendly and we hit it off talking about California and Mica. He i guess was a photographer a while back, and still does it but now has a main focus. He takes some really interesting shots of Baltimore and its gritty glory through photos of "R.I.P" graffiti . whenever i see some "RIP Biggee" or "Get it or Die trying, Big Money" written on some building's bricks, i now think of Peter Barry, the Ok Natural hippie clerk.
Check his stuff out, some of them are pretty moving :

Haha this is funny. :) Thanks for sharing your story with us. I wish I had an interesting story like that (that has to do with art) but I really don't. Guess that's too bad...

their food is just "ok"

that's cool that he talked to you about it.
