Foot Messenger

A couple times a week, I pass the same guy on my way to work. I’m walking down the street towards Harvard Square, he’s running in the opposite direction. He’s always carrying a folder or portfolio. Which makes me wonder, is he running to work? He doesn’t have a bag with him, so either he works at a really casual office where they don’t mind the stench of sweaty shoes and shorts or he’s involved in some sort of delivery service. Like a bike messenger, but on foot.


I’m still not used to having a camera with me, so I could only get a shot of him after he passed me. He may not look like he’s sprinting, but trust me, this guy can move.

    Another sighting this morning! He was carrying a plain manila folder. I couldn’t get a picture because he was running on the other side of the street. And I was on the bus. And I didn’t have my camera.
