A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

I came across a picture taken by Mike Shaw just now. The picture is wonderful, strong and somewhat touching in my opinion . Along with the picture, the photographer posted :

"... A simple man that shows his life on his face and the callouses you can feel on his hands makes eye contact through your lens. Neither of you can speak each others language but it does not matter. 

Throughout your lives you are going to make so many contacts, some fleeting and some lifelong but its not the contacts you make, its how you make the contact that will stay with you for the rest of your life."

How have you made the contact up till now? :)
