Lost in Time

An old timer looking back on his life.

It seems as if he was carved from the very wood that imprisons him.

Thanks, Marc. Yes, he was a very intelligent and grizzled character.

Yes, texturally, the wood and flesh are of one - both aged, both a little worn out, but still loaded with character - my kind of people. I won't comment on the technical prowess of the shot; it speaks for itself. I've looked at this photograph for about 2 hours tonight - trying to imagine the history that you've captured within those eyes. Is this the face of wisdom? Perhaps. But perhaps it's just an old man behind a wooden door investigating a noise outside. I think the beauty of the image is somewhere in between - it keeps you guessing. Thank you, MP.

 

Excellent portrait. The manufacture of the wood and the face of the old one, are the suggestion of a dark and strange past. Congratulations. Best wishes. Vicente.

How about a different framing - not as tight as this, and perhaps even vertical - for this amazing face...?
