Old Lady with Newspaper

This was one of my very first photos (I was nineteen at the time). I

wanted to achieve a painterly effect with the light as well as reveal

the personality of this dear old lady (my grandmother).Did I achieve

either of my aims?

Il love your B&W photos. They make me remember the great times of Timelife Magazine. They are full of life and fix just the present moment. I'm trying to make such pictures but they are not developped yet. I hope they will be as good as yours. Go on doing such a good job. Congratulations David, congratulations.

So far, very underrated, imo. Very good beginning work. What do you think of some cropping off the left and top for a tighter and not so head-centered composition.

What a great capture! I love portraits done with window light. She looks like she was a very lovely lady.

Great use of available light here.

The light creates a somewhat hazy effect, which is too good for me. You have indeed been successful in your effort. Love the picture and the lady!

great image especially the light made it amazing !
