Dear HONY,

I needed a metro card to get to work, but my credit card was not working in any of the machines. I went into a convenience store and asked if I could purchase anyone’s food/drink in exchange for cash, and one man took me up on it. So I got $2.25.

But when I went down to the machine, I found that I was still a quarter short. I went into a Starbucks and asked 15 people if I could buy their coffee. Nobody answered. At this point I was getting frantic. I desperately approached a coffee cart vendor, and explained my situation.

The man smiles and says, “Here, take a dollar.”
“Thanks,” I told him, “but I only need a quarter. My credit card works everywhere except the subway. But thank you.”
“Wait,” he told me. “Since you have no money, take $10. You can pay me back tomorrow, or not at all. It’s not a big deal.”

This guy gave me $11 even though I’ve never met the guy, seen him before, or bought even a coffee from the cart… and after I’ve been searching for 25 cents for almost an hour. 

You can find him right outside the Bowling Green 4/5 stop. Near the Starbucks. He works until Noon.

Iraq’s Youngest Photographer 

(via Reuters)

Qamar Hashim is an 8-year-old Iraqi photographer. He tours famous streets to picture Baghdadis with his single camera and is the youngest Iraqi photographer to win several local awards, according to the Iraqi Society Photographic (ISP).

Below, Qamar responds to a series of questions.

• When did you take your first photograph and what did it show?

I do not remember exactly the first picture but I had been mimicking my father since I was 4 or 5 years-old and started to take pictures of the Tigris river, the gulls, birds, old houses and heritage places.

• Why do you think photography is important?

Photography is very important. It documents life and pauses time. We can show the city, life and the people.

• What do you want to show people about Iraq?

I want to say through my pictures that Iraq is precious and Iraqis are very kind. Iraq is peaceful and has a great history.

• How do you feel about the U.S. troops leaving Iraq?

I am afraid of the U.S. soldiers, they destroyed the house my family rented in 2003, when I was a fetus. Thank God my family survived and I am happy now for their departure. I am free and not afraid of their tanks.

• What do you want to be when you finish school?

I like to act and I would like to be a child-activist.

• Which is your favorite photo you have taken and why?

My favorite picture is of a man sleeping who sells books at al-Mutanabi street. Also a picture of a bee on a rose, I ran a lot to follow the bee until I got this picture.

• Are there any photographers you look up to?

There a lot of good photographers and I learned from them (Adel Qassim, Fouad Shakir, Kareem al-Ba’aj, and Hameed Majeed).

• Are there any photos you wish to take but haven’t been able to yet?

The dangerous pictures like fire, blasts, other incidents but I have been sent off the site. They say I am a child. Also I wish to get a picture of the triangle of migrant birds.

• What does the future of Iraq look like?

I see a flourishing future for Iraq especially when my family owns a house. I love Iraq, my home, and it is more precious than anything else.

This kid is amazing & inspiring.
