Description
The man walked up as I took this shot along a back road in Central Louisiana. I asked for permission to take some shots and his answer was "Shoot away, it's not much to look at. But as we talked, this old country boy from Central Texas and that old country boy from Central Louisiana figure out real quick that we had some things in common. Bull Nettles, Cattle, Horses and good memories.
Where I had traveled the world, he had hardly left the Parish. Still the same, we both knew we actually had a lot in common, becaused we had both been "Raised Country".
"Ya see that first window on the right? he asked. I acknowledge that I did and he stood looking at it for a minute without saying anything. Then he added "I was born in that room. Now, I'm just hanging around now to see which one of us is going to fall first."
I shook his hand and thanked him for his time. His answer was "Hell, time is all I've got left." I corrected him telling him that time is not as important as the memorys he carried within himself. He smiled, turned and walked away, and I went on down the road.
