Beetle guy


Scrapping a blue beetle in the high desert next to a green wall with possibilities was this guy. Nice guy I took his photo for about 15 minutes as he struggled getting an old bolt off of the old bumper. When he finished he raised his hands to the sky thanking the lord. I took photos of that too but they were just too good and I figured people would think I compelled him to do that, He may have because I was there but I think he would have done it anyway. I introduced myself and told him thanks and that I thought it might be a really good photo. He wished me luck and said he hoped I'd sell it to Life Magazine for a million dollars.
