Strong but Silent


Although he gave me permission to take his photograph, this man definitely is the strong and silent type.  I tried to "chat him up" but he wasn't having any part of it.  He probably has many strong life stories to relate but I had to respect his silence.

  7. It was nice of him to allow a portrait even if he didn't want to chat. I wonder if he will get to see it.

  12. More of my silent subjects are shy. I wonder what he thought when you asked and when he said OK.
