awkward number one.

I have decided that every once in a while, just for fun, I am going to compile some pictures of really awkward things I have come across.

Strolling down Duval Street in Key West, I came across this character. With "KWELVIS" emblazoned on his guitar, I could only assume I was looking at Key West's Elvis. He didn't speak to me, only scrunched his lip up like so. There aren't even strings on his guitar.


Downtown Fort Myers, a frequent haunt of mine, provides me with many photo opportunities. However, I couldn't have made this one up. Outside Starbucks sat this shirtless (but definitely not scarfless) man with his bird. I thought he was talking to his wife, or whoever the woman was that was sitting with him, but he definitely wasn't. It was not until I had sat down with some friends and a coffee that I realized he was holding his conversation with the bird. You can only imagine how excited he got when I took their photo.



Taking my camera with me everywhere pays off. Even at a gas station. There isn't much of a story with this one. The broken pay phone is being guarded by a paisley print elephant.



The last awkward photo (for now) is just what it looks like. A random sofa in a field.
