I'm more of a photojournalist/event/portrait person so this one will be a little different. The gentleman in the picture was named Bill. I had become a photographer for a very large church (10,000 members, 5 locations, broadcasting in 4k etc). Quite an operation and it's where I really fine tuned low light photography. In any event, I ended up spending 2 years at the Hispanic Group, located in a small building without any of the high tech stuff. Bill was living in a trailer in Southern Georgia ie gators, snakes, bugs, heat beyond anything I ever felt in PA. He was very ill and had just lost part of a leg. Even though he spoke no Spanish, and only a small portion of the group spoke English, they made a visit to him, cleaned his trailer, cut his hair etc etc. Basically, took care of Bill. In lieu of some of the hatred that is being spewed in politics these days, I thought I would mention that there is still a lot of good in the USA. Bill died this year but capturing his image and his ability to be humble, thankful and still garner a smile was pretty impressive.
