I have taken tens of thousands of photographs in my lifetime. The one you are looking at now is without question my favorite of them all. I have looked at this picture hundreds of times, and goose bumps run down my spine every time I do. The model’s name is Troy. He was not a professional model, but only a gentle soul who came into the restaurant where I ate often. He previously lived in Beanblossom, Indiana but was forced to move out of state and live with his daughter after his heart-attack. My peace be with you forever, my dear friend, Troy.
