Grandpa

i love the square format for portraits; and i like the fact that you open up your folio with portraits now.

Thank you Florian for your visit and kind words!

 

I change the sequence of my folders from time to time. As I have been uploading portraits these days, I placed my PEOPLE folder at the top.

Thanks for your visits and comments!

There is something sad about this guy. Maybe because I associate the elderly with my own father, who is 92, and a WWII veteran. Healthy as a horse, yet his mind has "disappeared", sort of what this fellow looks like. Your capture shows a lot of humanity and feeling, Brad. Beautifully done work. Even if it does make me feel sad.

Thank you Liz for your visit and touching comment!

 

Your observation is exactly right, Liz. This old person is physically healthy but he is empty.

Subject like this makes viewers sad, and stirs up the feeling of pathos on life. This subject makes me think of my personal future and wonder how I will be when I reach his age.

 

I am sorry for your Dad, Liz!
