faith&materialism

Did this shot about two weeks ago.
It´s hard to describe, there was something that really touches me, when I made this shot.
And it still does, when I look at this old couple.
They looked so lost in the middle of the street, surrounded by traffic.
Think you can look at this in different ways:
One may be, it can be hard, living in a material world, when you´re getting older.
But I prefer another view: the faith, that keeps them going to do the things on their own.

It has all the markings of difficulty for the aged...all it takes is a wrong step, but they are focused & will make it.

Well, at least they are out. As long as you can do that, life has a meaning.

And, they rely on the faith they have for each other. Very moving image, Wernere. Very well captured and presented!

It's a very touching and poignant image.

I look at it another way...
She is saying to him, "I told you not to park the car so far from the market".
I know, I know... I have a rather narrow worldview seen through a prism of North American eyes.

strong capture! you can feel the stiffness and hesitation although they are optimisticly colourful and carrying heavy stuff! v
