the Daily Photo - One day, one photograph
Bob Michaels
Lester, truckdriver at Zellwood Truck Stop
Lester approached me asking if I would make a photo of him and his truck while I was at the decaying Zellwood Truck Stop working on my North Orange County series. He offered to pay and said he'd pick them up at the truckstop diner the next time he was through. I told him that I was more than happy to oblige and at no cost. Several days later I dropped off 3 different archivally printed 8x10 prints in an envelope addressed to "Lester ". I stopped by back about ten days later to find that he had stopped by, picked up the prints, and left a gracious thanks. BTW, these were very nice prints made from an 6x7 neg.
One must must walk up to the grill of a Freightliner to have an appreciation for just how large a man Lester is.
