I was living in Louisville KY when i took this photo. I had a 200-mm zoom on my Pentax K-1000 so I was able to shoot him without being noticed. He pushed that carriage, or better stated his entire world around on those 4 wobbly wheels. He moved with conviction, he was on a schedule, and i could recognize how much better in shape he was i then me. I catch myself bitching because i have to carry a tripod sometimes?Anyway, i manipulated the photo in Photoshop. It was really early in the a.m. and it was cold. I brought out the white in the photo to really try to capture the bitterness of the morning, as well as the plausible bitterness in his own heart? I used tons of diffuse glow and screwed with the highlights, brightness and contrast to achieve this final look.On a last note, I wonder if this man truly did find an inner peace? A peace which made him smile gently on the inside if perhaps he did catch the gross and ignorant glances from the general masses?
