Photographer Comments: I manged to snap a few good pictures of these two gentlemen hanging out on a park bench. They were thoroughly enjoying each other's company when I was shooting and were very animated in their conversations. I was surprised that they readily agreed to let me photograph them as they sat together. Again, to me it illustrates perfectly a "slice of life" moment and champions the natural beauty in human relations in its simplist form.
