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.
