The Love of a Guitar

Uploaded: December 03, 2012

Description

A street musician in Fort Myers, Florida who clearly loves his work. I realized shortly after I took this shot that my wallet was missing, and this great guy put down his guitar and took off searching the area to help me out. Turned out that I'd left the wallet in the car, but he was wonderful in so quickly offering his help to a stranger.
