I estimated that it's probably been two weeks since this man either tweezed or shaved his ears, considering that on the average--hair grows about 1/2 an inch every month.
I made my daughters these frilly little dresses for Easter one year. The fabric was difficult to work with, but I lined every edge with lace and ribbon. It was the most beautiful day when I dressed them up and took their picture. Afterwards, I hiked one daughter on one hip and one daughter on the other and stared into the mirror. I never wanted to forget what it looked like to be holding both of them together.
Sometimes I see things that depress me. In this particular situation I had my camera in the car and was sitting at a stoplight. I didn't help this man, wouldn't have had the time or opportunity to hold up traffic if I had wanted to. But I have often wondered if the woman in the distance did anything for him.
