This man was on a cigarette break from his job at a local restaurant as I happened to be walking by. He told me of a family gathering at a nearby inn and encouraged a visit with his photographer son who was there. I did so as it was on my way, and met his wonderful extended family – slowly coming around from a night of celebration – and took a few more portraits.
