Never judge a man without first listening to his story. -
On an assignment and sitting in front of a coffee shop, I had a self-revealing conversation with this great-great-grandfather. He served our country in the great war to preserve our American freedoms. I am sure he had a story for every wrinkle on his face and precious strand of white hair. He shared a wealth of history with me in our moment together. His eyes are a window into a life well lived. I walked away rich for my short time spent with him. He allowed me to take this image of him. I am forever grateful for the unexpected.
