One of my mid-year photographic challenges is to photograph more people. Perhaps a post each Sunday? We’ll see … I begin with Robert Yearwood. At some point I may pair stories/brief interviews with these images. Given that Mr. Yearwood has been in this world since 1938, he has a lot of stories to tell. I first met him at Trinity Church. I’ve learned a lot from him about patience, letting things go, and especially an idea that I have rephrased a bit — that all who enter a place, regardless of age, race, gender, or creed, the clothes upon their backs or the lack thereof, all shall be equally greeted. Whenever I want to be … not nice to someone … I try to remember that idea. 🙂

Great photo of Mr. Robert Yearwood, can’t believe he was born in 1938? How lucky to look 30 yrs. younger than your actual age…
Thanks Cynthia, nice story, looking forward to many more.
You’re welcome.

Do you have any more information on Mr Yearwood? This may be somebody I’ve been looking for to thank for many years.
