Ron Hemberger, Nature Boy - Male
San Joaquin Marsh, Irvine, Orange County, California, USA
July 29, 2005
Two old guys come up to this one old guy while I'm shooting. One of them asks: "What are you doing?"

Uncharteristically, I stifle a snide comment.

"Taking photographs of insects," I reply.

"What do you call someone who takes photographs of insects?" comes a second question.

"A nature boy."
