Repost but I love those photos. And their empty eys are amazing!
Indeed I thought this might have been a repost, and they are great shots..... That said should I be worried that I did not notice their empty eyes? (and still don't really see it especially much)Originally Posted by Arbody
Probably it is a repost. My apologize. But what do you mean speaking about their empty eyes?
Some people have 'empty eyes' as though they gaze right through you.... The Thousand Yard Stare so to speak..
Well maybe not empty but full of sadness and sorrow
Now you're right. They saw a lot...
What does it mean "special agent with extended authority" ?
Thank you for sharing photos. Anyway, what is the source of above claim. I did a search online but got nothing. Thanks.
