Description

I met Wallace at the Sam's club as I was getting ready to leave.  I liked his hat and told him so.  We got to talking and learned he was a retired cowboy, had even made the cowboy hall of fame.  Quite a story he weaved, and I was happy I had spoken up and met him.  He was with his daughter and I asked if he minded me taking a portrait of him.  It took a few images to get this relaxed smile, with that hint of mischief.  I had gotten the one I had wanted. I sent him a copy for the family, an obligation I do whenever I can.

Taken with my 90mm F2.0 Summicron from about 4 feet away (1 and 1/4 meters) close enough to isolate him from the many visual distractions common to big businesses.  I was unable to control the location, but I was able to limit your point of view.
