Herman's one million page journey.

I spent the evening photographing Herman. He is a 79 year old man who lives in a one bedroom apartment in NW Portland. He says he has never completed anything in his life so 24 years ago he made a promise to himself. To read one million pages before he dies. January of 2008 he completed his goal and is still going strong.

 

I took number of photos of him and recorded him talking about his story. He goes on about his favorite book: October Sky.

 

I am putting together a slideshow of the photographs and his voice will play over the top of it. It will be up on my Photo Journal soon.
