Neighborhood

Dalbert, Alpha, Janet, and Cleveland at 159 Rand

Though later it turned out that the couch had belonged to Dalbert, when we first asked him if it was his—as a way to get to the follow-up question, “Will you sit on it for a photograph?”—he said he had no idea whose couch it was and continued to work on repairing his truck. We asked a few more people, all of whom said no. Before long, Alpha came out of the house, having just finished showering. She had overheard our questions and wanted to be photographed. Cleveland and his wife Janet approached at that very moment and asked if they, too, could be in the picture. Once the three of them expressed interest, Dalbert, too, joined the couch party.
