truth is, i never pick them, they pick me. i never go out "hunting" for subjects really, more so i just like to go walk around and listen to peoples stories and interact with them.
take this picture:
nothing to crazy about it, i never caught his name, but he's a simple cab driver in the manassas area, but what you wouldnt know was that in his country he wanted to be a doctor, but due to family hardship his family moved to the states to "have a better life"
as a cab driver....
its odd how things seem to work out isnt it. i asked him if he was happy that he made the move. he told me:
"im not only happy, im proud. i work quite hard. it doesnt matter if im a doctor or just driving a cab, as long as i can provide for my family then im doing the right thing."
the people i photograph always seem to leave me with something that i can make myself a better person with.
he IS proud, and i think this picture shows it.
