i always carry a camera. i shot these frames without looking through the view finder while skating towards the victim.
nobody was looking. the driver did not check what was going on behind him. the woman walked in front of a vehicle moving in reverse. crash.
this woman got to the downed pedestrian first and begin to lift her from the street as i approach i yelled DONT MOVE HER !
others were coming to her assistance as well. i called 911 then gathered up the woman’s bibles and pamphlets. the cops arrived and i skateboarded away. i think that she will be fine. Carpe diem y memento mori y Feliz Navidad. Martin _ nyc

This has never happened to me before before I have had an apartment for 35 years, I need a bag. A bag for what ? A bag to put my shit in. What shit? Is this 14th ? You mean downtown man ? No 116th and 4th Avenue, They have a store there where I can buy a bag to put my shit in, a laundry bag. No man you are on 111th. I need a place to put my shit when i get it tomorrow. Your pills are all over the place, let me go in the Bodega, your pills are all over the street, let me get a bag. Would you do that for me ? Yeah man. We gather up a variety of pill bottles and I help my fellow human across the street and deposit him in front of an abandoned store on third ave and 110th, out of the glare of the Bodega’s Spotlight. I go home.
