This is Wilbur. Wilbur works at the junkyard in Phoenixville and was waiting for his bus when we met. I was telling him I always enjoyed my trips to the junkyard and he told me how to get to the Phoenixville yard. I will probably meet Wilbur again when I visit. (Great place to take pictures by the way).
(I had to fix the background it was bothering me. Thank you Kimbomac.)

  1. Great portrait! I hope you find him and give him a copy of it, he'd love it. The detail and texture are perfect, and you've really captured his eyes wonderfully.

  6. This is fabulous. I love how he is looking directly at us, but very calmly and without a trace of trepidation. He looks like a peaceful soul. And yes, do take him a copy, he (or at least his wife) will be thrilled. If you continue to find such interesting faces for a whole month, I am going to be very impressed.
