A Hole

Once and a while something happens that leaves you feeling sad. Today that was saying goodbye to a 99 year old neighbor that's going to live with his daughter. Yes, the move is necessary, as he's been failing over the last few years, but I will miss him! As a survivor of the days of Hitler, Erwin was a grand storyteller of life in Germany in the last 1930's. He is a man that laces every visit with a compliment and a wink. When my intuition called about 5 years ago, I made some lasting portraits of him. The wrinkles, the smile, the twinkle in his eye - all on film. Thanks for your presence Erwin, I'll miss you and pray for a marvelous journey!
