A Generous Man

I drove passed this man and smelled something cooking. I stopped a block away and walked back to see what it was and to take a photo. I told him that my nose drew me back. He said nothing and kept chopping Chicken while I took pictures. At one point he looked up (hence this image) and handed me some chicken. He wouldn't take payment. A nice encounter for the day.

Something you don't encounter every day, a nice thing to do for you and an excellent shot of him in action. V

That really was a nice gesture! I like it when people are genuine! You photo is great and conveys that there is a story behind his generosity and those eyes! How to get to that story, well the photo is a start. BV

That is a generous guy and so nice to see these days. Hopefully you can find him again and give him one of your shots.
