The Journey Has Been Long

When our paths crossed and I shot this man...

 

I got a sense that life has been difficult for him.

 

He wasn't unfriendly at all.

 

He didn't invite my conversation either.

 

When I showed him this shot on the back of the camera...

 

I asked him if he saw his soul in this photograph.

 

The man looked at the shot for a moment.

 

'A picture cannot capture a person's soul' he said.

 

I disagreed with him.

 

'But it can capture an image of a person's soul' I replied.

 

He stood his ground.

 

'I'd like to give that to my mother though' he admitted.
