Subject: [Leica] Pictures of a Stranger (but not anymore)

Sometimes it just pays to take your camera everywhere.  I usually
shoot strangers from a distance, and rarely do I get this close to
someone I do not know.

Today, I went to the Doctor for my annual "wellness exam,"  and I
noticed an elderly gentleman waiting across the room.  Then someone
came out and greeted him, and I realized it was Ben Johnson, a man who
for much of his life, has given back to this community, a huge amount
of the material wealth that he earned in various business pursuits.

I  sat next to him, and introduced myself; as we talked, I asked if I
might photograph him. He kindly said yes.  I'd like to share these
shots with you.  If you are on dialup, there are three pictures on the
page, so it may go a little slow, but the whole load should not take
more than 50 seconds.  I just did not want to break up the set.
