I Miss Mr. Gibson

Mr. Gibson was one of my favorite inmates from this past summer. Mr. Gibson was more than a subject he was and still is my friend. He’d be one of the first guys I’d go greet everyday I’d go to the prison. “Why hello there camera man.” or “Take my picture camera man,” were greetings he’d have waiting for me every time he saw me. I miss the man. I need to call him tomorrow and see how he’s doing.

One of my last days in KY I went to pay Mr. Gibson, who is now a free man, a visit. He was tickled silly that I’d make the three hour drive to see him. We mainly spent the day sitting on the swing you see in the picture below talking. I probably should have taken more pictures, but my heart told me I’d cherish the conversation more than any photos I’d take and I did.
