Stan and I were sitting eating lunch when I noticed this man at the next table, with his straw Stetson and his guitar. I may have mentioned it before, but at Stellafane, I wear a straw Stetson to keep the sun off my face. So I thought about it for a few minutes, and then went over and asked him if I could take his portrait. He said "sure." So I took him over to a nearby building with rough wood walls, as a background. I am not sure exactly why he was there - I asked if he was interested in astronomy, and he said he wasn't. He lives nearby and said he just wanted to see what was going on here at Stellafane. So I spent about 5 or 10 minutes doing some different versions of this photograph. I gave him my email address and said that if he wanted copies, to send me an email and I would send along some of the photographs.
Why didn't you photograph him with his horse?
