Michael....Earlewood Park

Michael and his friends were playing something called disc golf when I flailed my way down an embankment to introduce myself. The young man seemed unsurprised to encounter a fashion anthropologist. Perhaps this sort of thing happens to him all the time.

Michael is a student at Sumter High School and said of his style, "I'm a big thrifter." Indeed, both his vest and cap are from thrift stores as, he told me, are most of his clothes. He's also a tremendous fan of the vest; he wears one nearly every day.
Michael insisted on striking a bird-watching pose for my camera before rejoining his friends. How I do love a good sport.
