    Great interview. As calling to be a photographer, this spoke to me. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to seeing more of these. You hit the nail on the head with your comment about all of these shows and there's no story to the process. Great way to show the love and story of what people do.

    I enjoyed this inspiring story. I liked that Lazaro included his wife, family, and God as heroes in this story in addition to himself. Eating at Tropical Grille has a new dimension after hearing the story behind it and meeting its very cool owner. Thanks to Brooks for this great interview.
