Description

I saw this man in the park. He stood hunched over and seemed to be looking for something. I joined him and asked if he had lost something. It turned out, that he collected leaves for his .....budgie! The bird loves very special leaves. These he collected, washed off and spoiled his little darling. So we collected leaves. In parting, I asked him if I may photograph him. I showed him his picture and said. "You look good" He: "I know. I'm a model!" with a wink and we said goodbye.

Between the story and the image there is so much to say here, but to sum it all up you did an ineradicable job not only as a photographer but as a person!

He has nice eyes. It's interesting to see how he looks, covering the beard and only seeing his eyes. The beard adds much to the wise man look, as does his comfy shirt. It's a beautiful portrait!

What a great character and heart warming story. He looks like Santa Claus. Did you check to see if he had any presents? Was für ein toller Charakter und herzerwärmende Geschichte. Er sieht aus wie der Weihnachtsmann. Haben Sie überprüfen, ob er keine Geschenke hatte?
