LISTENING

Fort Worth, TX

When Spencer started playing his guitar, Alvin went to a window and sat to listen to the music. He did this for a while and then asked if he could play. The answer was yes.

You see, Alvin is homeless and we met him at the photo shoot of a young man named Spencer. We went to the old rock house I found. There we found Alvin who had moved in for a while.

Alvin hadn't played guitar since 1983 when his wife left him. After falling into a deep depression he ended up homeless. This gallery is a story of the day I will never forget.

This is such a touching story. I love his expression here, the deep thought... wistful, so emotional, so deep. V
