After years of battling my shyness and losing, finally there was a face so etched with experience, so wonderfully lit, and with such kind eyes, that i had to get over myself and ask the hard question: can i take your portrait?
His name is Lawrence, he lives on a wagon, he has a shih tzu. It's not the first time someone asked to take his picture; he was in the Guardian, in an article on people with alternative lifestyles. But it was my first time asking a total stranger to sit for me -or remain seated, as the case was.
Thank you, Lawrence. You made a difficult thing very easy.
