80's Ruger #2, a photo from Tokyo, Kanto

Photographer's Note

This is the continuation from previous one.
The match of 80 years or more is played via 15 minutes half. But except this half time article, basically all rules are same as usual. He is 85 yeras old. I never never have confidence that I will play such as him 35 years later. How about you?

Hi Takero,
I don't think so.. I hope I still be living at that age, difficult though!
Clear shot, meaningful expression on the face, good portrait!
Best Regards,
Engin.

Hello Takero,
a lovely portrait, superbly framed and lit. I like the sharpness with which the player is pictured against the blurry background. I love his expression, so confident and relaxed. He clearly enjoys very much his good health, the game, the camaraderie and the lovely day. I think that if one has serious considerations about doing sports at such an age many years from now, there's great probability that they'll do it. I love rugby too. Thank you for the lovely picture and the message it brings.
All the best, have a great week,
Ourania

Hello my dear friend Tekero
You captured wonderful portrait of 85 years old boy. We say it Maşaallah in Turkish. I hope that he will live many years in healty ,happy, beautiful years with lovely friends and grandsons. People in Turkey believe and say that "If anybody see his/her grandchildren of grandson or grandgirl in this world, he/she may go to paradise hereafter freely".
Thanks, regards

Hi Takero,
The mans face tells many stories, and this appears to be a very candid image, which suits the subject perfectly. The depth of field is, as always, fantastic bringing the character to life.
Best wishes, have a great weekend.
