This guy collects maps.
He carries a list of which maps he already owns.
When he finds a map for sale.
He consults his list.

Poor Al.
He's getting crapped on by everyone.
Now if we'd only just listen to him.
Things would be better.

It was a serious conversation

I was trying to take his picture.
He stopped me and said " No, like this"
He sells wooden windmills and garden bridges.

He loves to dig through the boxes
He can search a dealers booth
In two minutes flat
Cindy is one of the happiest people I know
He sells office furniture and lamps
He always finds wonderful paintings
For years I've seen him at the flea market
He's always wearing the helmet
Wolff's is right under one of the flight paths at O'Hare.
There's an effect called The Rosemont Pause
You'll be in the middle of a conversation
And you'll have to wait until the plane passes overhead
To finish what you're saying

I was standing in a friends booth at the flea market. He sells general household crapola. A young lady walked up and asked him how much he wanted for some baby powder. He looked at her and said "fifty cents". She bought it, turned the top and poured the powder all over her feet. I decided it would be a good picture and pointed my camera.
"Noooooooo" she screamed while trying to hide her feet.
"What's the matter" I asked her.
"They're all powdery" she said
We stared at each other for a second or two and then she walked off.
Flea markets can be very strange places.
Kane County Flea Market

He sells antique advertising and kitch
He always has one thing that he doen't know
What to price it at
He could really play
His father said nothing
But just watched his technique
He's an old school Maxwell Street seller
He brings the good stuff to Kane
He buys musical insrtuments
His knowledge is ledendary
Jeff is a genius
One of the best pickers in Chicago
He has an amazing eye
Steve collects photographs and negatives
And operates a crane
Shakira is always happy
Always

Every Sunday he walks around the flea market asking the dealers
"Do you have any cameras?"
Most people don't know his name
He's just The Camera Man
It always amazes me
How emotional people get
When they're trying to decide
If they should buy something or not
I just met Rudy
He's an intense guy
He sells fake flowers
And office chairs
I don't know who he is
But he's always really happy
If you can't make up your mind
It's always best to get a second opinion
I think he's famous
Or in a really good band
He hosts an cable access show in Indiana
He has the most amazing
Announcer voice you've ever heard
Larry is always driving around town
Looking for the next big score
Mike is a magician
He can fix anything
One of the best antique pickers
In Chicago
He always gets the best stuff

Depressed?
Feeling down?
I have a cure.
Life is better
When you go to flea markets.
