    wow, I see so much emotion in this man's eyes. sadness, despondancy, but still a sense of pride behind those eyes. After viewing this I can see how small my life has been compared to the range of emotive in this mans eyes. It simply humbles me.

    The camera catches the physical, the photographer caputures the ethereal, like pride.
