The Osbornes...I met this incredibly interesting couple while I was attending a weekend event in Arcadia and I had sat down to listen to the band on stage. They sat behind me and I was immediately drawn to them....I was dying to take their picture...but of course, not without asking. Me being as chatty as I am, I purposely started a conversation with them and I was in awe of their life story. They are both college professors, from the states, but teach over seas, he physics and she math. She and I shared somewhat of the same roots, she attended college in Wisconsin...my home state. They shared stories of their students, the health care system and costs (a fraction of the price) overseas vs the states, where they attended college, talked about their daughter, we talked photography, they told me of their new and first home they recently purchased and their thoughts on society today in general. They had just bought their first home in the area, but before that, they had spent their entire life together, living locally while they were home in the states, on their boat. They had simply come out for the day to enjoy the festival. That was it....simple. They were simple people, but yet so intelligent...that shared an hour of their life with me and who are truly living their life dreams...I learned some very humbling life lessons in an hour and I was completely intrigued by them...and at the end of our talking....they were thrilled for me to take their picture. :)
