ALVIN PLAYS

Fort Worth, TX

Alvin started playing a melody. Slowly playing a melody.

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.

Please view each image in this gallery to get the full story.
