A wonderful portrait, nicely captured!
I bet he could tell many tales. ;-)

He is pleased that you are taking his picture but does not want to be too exhuberant. I like his cap.
Guest 04-Aug-2007 22:28
Wow, his face has definitely got a "lived in" look to it, and is he laughing or grimacing? I especially like the "washed out" light -- interested to know how you achieve this; is it exposure or an edit?

Superb shot, crop and subject

I love this portrait as well. I wonder what those eyes have seen over the years. He appears very wistful. Vote.
