The hands of Joe Yost (1989) who worked and lived in the (Forgotten) Triangle around 79th and Holton. Joe was a mechanic and scrapper. This shot is at the homes across the street, from where he workedhttps://realstill.com/epigrams/the-hands-of-joe-yost/ – a place called, Tires, Tires, Tires – Joe just got done washing up, it’s not possible to remove all the grease, oil and dirt, but he’s ready for another Friday night in the Triangle, known for its cheat spots, scrap yards and churches.
A couple years later Joe married and settled into the nearby projects and died around 1995.
