Description
Traveling, I get to meet many different people. A few are rich, most are not. A few are in desperate need… Very few are Happy. Meet the Birdman of Houston. He lives on the downtown streets and Parks. Everyday he comes to this same spot in Jones Plaza in the popular Houston Theatre District to feed the birds. On this New Years day of 2019 there were no birds but he was there anyway. I think he is the happiest man I have ever met.
Photograph made with a Nikon Z6 Camera and 24-70 mm f/4 S lens.
