Vegas-Pictures Tell a Story

I went out early one morning to take pictures. I saw two men sitting on opposite sides of a bench overlooking the strip. Sitting on the left side, the guy was an all American guy. He had on a ball cap and a t-shirt and shorts with tennis shoes. The guy on the right was homeless. He had long white dirty hair and clothes with no shoes. I took a picture of them with only the two guys in the shot. How does someone get from being the guy on the left to the guy on the right?

Then, I walked down and began taking pictures of some of the hotels. A guy walked by and said, "See if you can figure out the stories they tell. Each one of them tell a story. Sometimes the stain glass windows in churches tell more than the Bible. They put stories in art because it's more interesting." Then, he continued on walking by.

Although I don't know if this guy was completely sane, he has a point about art being interesting and telling a story. People are more willing to listen to what Brock has to say because he wraps his message in art.
