Stranger #15

We met Aaron and his two children Aden and Caelum in Waco, Texas, at the famed Health Camp burger joint. We were on our way to Dallas to visit my wife's sister and her boys. Aaron's brood (his wife and two other kids--including a 6-week-old--were sitting across from them) were returning to their home in San Antonio from a funeral in North Texas. He and his wife are coffee roasters. Aaron said he previously worked for Starbuck's and went forward on his own with his passion for coffee with his company: www.browncoffeeco.com/.

 

I like that all three were wearing glasses, as does my four-year-old son. This is my first group photo for the 100 Strangers project. I had some trouble with the light from the window behind them, but a flash pretty much solved it.

 

Oh, and the Health Camp name isn't meant to be ironic. It comes from the name of the dairy that originally provided products for the restaurant, which is frequented both by Baylor University students and highway travelers taking a break from driving Interstate 35.

 

They are (collectively) my fifteenth stranger in the Flickr challenge to shoot photos of 100 strangers: www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers/.
