faces that tell stories The Million Dollar Smile

Spotted by a roadside hut in Tripura-India. Per family he is 107 years

old and is on no medications. Stone deaf-has one tooth left and he is

always happy!

 

What a wonderful way to be demented!

What an expression. Well captured.

a priceless document and a valuable addition to photography! regards!

heartwarming.

A great lovely and happy capture.

...everybody, for liking it !

 

A priceless moment -indeed!!

Very interesting portrait...Regina

Very good work.

I am the witness of the shooting. Proud to be your brother-in-law.

Kudos! What is the story of this kind old man?

stunning picture and very interesting subject!

 

One of those shot that is worth an entire travel!

Amazing that he would allow you to take his picture....and he actually seems quite pleased about it! This image should be seen. If I were you I'd submit it to some magazines like National Geographic and such.

For liking this wonderful gentleman.

 

Andrew, I have already narrated the story .. spent only a few minutes with him by the roadside ! I was fascinated with him! Dont know anything more. I definitely plan to visit his place next time when I go home in India

 

Christal, I have not yet come across somebody in rural India who would not let me take his pictures! Women are, at times, hesitant but that is because of the culture.

Most of them are actually happy and pose for you-especially when you are one of them, speaking their language.

 

My conclusion, eating less is helpful for long, happy, disease free life !

Thanks for the added narrative, Dr. Chaudhuri. It's as if he's attained Buddhahood...and perhaps he has!

Hello. Excellent portrait. This is the best proof that you can't buy happiness with money. Regards - Hasan
