mr. larry robinson. baktash and i were running down the beach, chasing waves and i saw this gentleman standing so peacefully and watching the waves and taking it all in. my heart kind of sank, because i wondered if he was lonely and wishes he had someone to share the moment with. so i ran up to him and asked if i could take his portrait as a way of talking to him. he was so so so wonderful and we talked for 20 minutes while baktash beachcombed. his was the kindest, most loving and wonderful gentleman. i need to do things like that more often. i think we all do. you never know how lonely people can be sometimes and how much it might make a difference to go show love to a total stranger. it made my heart feel good.
p.s. his trucker hat said "home is where you park it" with a drawing of an RV. totally rad.

Beautiful, Layli.
That moment, captured by you in a photograph, was a point around which the entire universe oriented itself, remembering for an instant, what love really is.
