Thanks Sonya.. I appreciate the comment and I agree. he was there for a long time just looking out in space.

very thought provoking pictures.

Really like them

Good subject matter. Did he realize you were shooting him?

I wonder what is on his mind.
Well, done. Using B/W seems perfect for this.

Awww. I look again and he looks like my father. Thank you for the gift.

wow... i didnt expect this kind of response.. but i thank you all.. no i dont think he even realized i was there.. i wanted to get closer but didnt want to spook him .. lol
thanks again

I like the second one best. Good work.

They're really lovely/horrible photos. You know what I mean.

Truly brought a tear to my eye, sounds corny but it did. That poor man looks so alone.

I guess a photo can show you what it wants to show you - he may have a family of 300 hundred and they all live in the same house, so he escapes for a break from it all and is actually enjoying his time sat alone with just the thoughts to keep him company but this photo just shows an old, lonely man and it breaks my heart.

I guess it relays my fears of being an old man with no-one around me.

Excellent photo, you have a true talent Photojag.

Thanks Sando.. I appreciate the comments.. I fell drawn to take these for some reason.. It is my first atempt at people in their element if you will.. I am glad to see everyone seems to like em.

Nice capture...I wonder what happened to the little bridge...maybe he is thinking the same thing?

I usually at least say hello to someone I see like that and just wish them a nice day.......Old folks like that stuff You never know, you might get to hear a great story!

I met an old guy in Florida on our vacation (a boat tour) and we talked to him for a bit........He was from Canada and his wife had died, they always wanted to visit Florida so he said he brought her scarf with him and threw it in the ocean Sad, but a super nice guy, kinda funny and crazy acting, and I think he liked to tell the story to us.
