About a Boy

I saw this young man walking his dog alongside an old abandoned railroad track while I was out testing my secondhand 70-210mm zoomlens - the lens does not autofocus, so i'll have to focus manually and I just have to practice lots and lots - While I was standing between the fields and meadows, he approached and I could not resist taking several shots of him and his dog and we started talking.The young man had a stutter but the more we talked the more he opened up.I took this portret while sitting down on my knees and talking to him.I believe I have captured his spirit, his being very well.
