How did I take the Portrait?

This Portrait was taken in Marina Del Ray California. I was walking through Marina Del Ray when I saw this guy sitting by his boat drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette.

He had a very distinct voice.  I started talking to him about his life as a sailor and explained to me that he was from the ocean.  He was from where ever the water took him.

I asked him if I could take his portrait and I ran home to get my lights and camera.  There was so much character and mystery about this guy.

I often wonder where the water has taken him.
