Today I went to downtown Rochester and was walking around the old R.I.T Campus taking photographs. I was photographing a church, when this gentleman came by on his bicycle. He asked me if I knew if the church was serving lunch today. He walked around but all the doors were locked, and as he started to leave, I offered him some money for lunch. Then I asked if I could take his picture. He has such a wonderful face and such warm eyes. He rides a bicycle because although he has had two knee replacements, he is in a lot of pain, so the bike makes it easier to get around. So interesting what you can find out when you stop to talk to strangers.
