This is John, we met him in a ghost town in eastern Nevada. He has lived here since 1974. Prior to that he was crew chief in the US Air Force. Not only does John coordinate the fire department, he also curates the museum. When we arrived in this small town the museum was closed. It took a local resident that drove to John’s house to let him know that he had visitors. He arrived shortly thereafter, let us in, and proceeded to tell us about the town and its history. After an hour or so, we had to hit the road. We left a modest donation and thanked him for his time.
If you remember back to a post I shared a couple weeks ago about trying to discover your calling, you might recall a bit I shared about my own. I mentioned that I personally enjoy meeting unique people in interesting places and sharing their story with a photograph. It’s something I haven’t done much of in the past, but it’s something I hope to do more of in the future. As regulars here, do you enjoy learning about the people that make this world unique? I’d be curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
As for today’s clue…the experiment I was conducting had to do with a tenant of this site. Anymore guesses?
This is one your finest photos! I would love to see you do more profiles of unique people, like John.
This is a wonderful portrait Justin. His weathered look speaks volumes of his character.
I think this is a great capture. Seeing things like this is what makes photography great. Please continue to share…
Um. Yes. I love your character studies and your stories in pictures. It is what made me a fan.
There is nothing more rewarding in life than to get inside the stories of real people.
Power to you, Justin!
I like to take interest in what someone else has to share. And when you can put a photo to that it makes it all the more interesting. As we age our cabinets carry more stories and some are more interesting than others. So yes bring it on..
Thanks everyone for your feedback, it looks like ill continue to share the characters I meet along the way. Thanks again for all your feedback!
Justin, you are doing a great job, please keep it up!
Wow, thanks much!
Yes, more stories of people! Wonderful portrait!
