The Old Beggar

Strong shot, Pierre! Sad stories arise in my mind when I look at this photo. Probably this elderly person slept in the street, he froze, by the time of the shot he began to warm up. He does not want to be photographed. You have remarkably shown this expressive face with negative emotion, posture, hands. I like this capture, light, colors, details of textures. Congratulations! Sincerely, Tatiana

He is in a wheelchair near his house opposite to the church very close to my home! And he didn't want to pose, but, I payed him to do that! Thank you, Tatiana! PDE

Pierre,

It's never easy to photograph such people,

It's always a challenge.

Well done!,

ZT,

Hello Pierre! Even in the most developed cities we can find beggars. The problem with elderly people is that they are sometimes abandoned by family members...the sad reality!... Kind Regards, Rosario.

Hi Pierre, nice shot. fresh and clean expression business is not that bad in that trade for all I know.

Thank you, Zbigniew! Rosario, this one wasn't abandoned, a kid was helping him, thank you for your attention! Thank you, Bernardo! You are right, it's a business and organized one, but, in this case maybe not, who knows! PDE

I want to add, Pierre, I was mistaken in this character, but his very convincing props led me astray. Sincerely, Tatiana

They are all (the Gypsies) very prone to deceive, Tatiana! PDE

A shot that tells a story decades long. I understand that you had to pay him to pose. A fair exchange, unquestionably!! Nice work Pierre!

Thank you, Warren! PDE

Great portrait and expression.

Thank you, Chris! PDE
