Under a snowfall, a photo from Aomori, Tohoku

Photographer's Note

A lonely life, specially in the snow area, is very hard. This is the same old lady of previous B&W one.

Hello my Japanese friend,
I do not know what to think about this lady...
At first she seems quiet old and cold...but watching better I see she has nice and clean clothes...so...who is she really?
Alone? Probably. In need? Not for sure!
Best regards Takero...and,for information,the few sakura we have here in Brussels are now opening...

Hi Takero
Beaucoup de personnes âgée sont seul(e) malheureusement
Bien emmitouflé dans ces vêtements pour cause du mauvais temps, l'expression de son visage est étrange comme si elle allait pleurée, un portrait touchant
Belle journée

A strong impression conveyed in this photo, Takero. Old life agony enveloped in her face expression, and snow don't give any relief.
Sad, but real. Fine taken.

Ciao Takero

Hello Takero,
this elederly lady has really attracted your attention and captivated your thoughts. She is a figure hard to forget, I remembered her very vividly from your previous post. This photo is very interesting and haunting too. Her loneliness and need forced her to go out in this harsh weather, her face is dramatic, vulnerable and strong and speaks volumes about her condition. I guess we all know or have met people like her, they seem so strong that we take them for granted and they have to deal with everything by themselves. Your photo is brilliant, thank you!
All the best,
Ourania

Hi Takero,

What a wonderful portrait of this old lady. I love the expression of on her face. Really good timing with it. I also like the tight framing. As almost always with your portraits perfect focus on the person and an appropriate blurred background. TFS and have a nice day!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hello Takero,
Being 85 is not easy for most, being alone makes it worse. And if it's winter and cold, life may not be good at all. I feel sorry for this old lady who doesn't look happy, but you took a fine photograph and also captured the falling snow very well.
Kind regards,
Gert
