Old father time, a photo from La Habana, West

Photographer's Note

A photo of an old man, begging for money in Plaza de la Catedral. I was walking around looking for shots of people milling about, enjoying the sun. Then just as I was about to leave to square I noticed this man, in the doorway of a bar. So in very broken spanish I asked to take is pitcure....he said yes and pointed to his hat on the floor..... the best 5CUCs spent on the whole trip. I hope you like my effort.

Hello Scott,
This is an exquisite portrait. There is so much emotion in this man's eyes; I can feel his sadness. It looks like tears will start falling at any moment. I really like the presentation: first the choice of B/W, and also the tight crop showing the details of his beard and hat.
