Vernon (http://www.flickr.com/photos/patmacinnes/6289853806/) by Pat MacInnes (http://www.flickr.com/people/patmacinnes/), on Flickr
I meet many people out on my travels and Vernon is one guy who really inspired me.
I shoot angling features, and Vernon was the caretaker of a lake that I was sent to to do a shoot. From the minute I met him his enthusiasm for everything fishing was infectious, from his knowledge of general trout fishing, through to how he could make a DIY version of any piece of tackle. He had a proper take on life, in that quiet and knowing way that men of the world always seem to have.
The thing is, being a lifelong angler into his seventies, he's now going blind. He isn't allowed to drive any more, so travelling to new venues is out of the question, and although he can still tie flies - something he loves more than anything - he failing eyesight is making it more difficult as the months go by.
These days he looks after his friend's lake, spending day after day just watching the water, smoking his pipe and welcoming visitors with a smile and a story.
And he does is all for free, for the love of being by the water.
It may be a solitary existence at times, but you know that when you visit his lake there will always be a welcome from Vernon.
