The man stood silently watching me take photographs for about ten minutes. He approached and looked carefully at what was in front of me and then at my camera, he smiled and said hello, I smiled back and returned the greeting, he nodded and then continued on his way. I had been waiting for him to pass me as I wanted him in the picture, to give both scale and human content to the landscape. But now when I see his figure slowly moving away he seems to add a loneliness to the photograph that wasn't there before.
