Old Cowboy

Traveling through central Honduras with a team of doctors and dentists from the United States during a recent mission trip, I noticed this man walking past the school where we were operating our temporary clinic. In the dozen trips I’ve made to Honduras spanning the past decade, I’ve spent the majority of the time photographing the people in towns and remote villages, then passing out those photos after they’re printed on a portable printer. I held up my camera towards him as if to silently ask his permission to photograph him. He stopped and turned to face me long enough for me to snap two photos before he turned and continued down the street.
