When I look at this picture, what comes to my mind is that
Beatles song, which goes "there are places I remember..." The irony
of that song is John Lennon penned most of the lyrics when he was in his early
20s. He would have reflected his own conviction from somebody like this person
on the photo. My thoughts is the old man has a lot of stories to tell. I would
love to hear them even though I don't really know him. And he doesn't know that
I shot his picture.
I posted this photo online and it has been featured on a few
photography websites. This poor man doesn't know that he has become somewhat
famous.
A crazy thought: What if John Lennon faked his death and he
was actually this guy?
Hope your day is going well.
