Barba-Tasos...
A simple man. A man of the next door.
His face like from leather, full of wrinkles, tells a lot of stories.
Every little wrinkle says something, something from his life.
Quite a lot of men like him live to the Greek islands.
The most of them worked as sailors to big ships or as fishermen.
Now they are retired and they live with a small pension and with their memories from their trips all over the world.

you are right kosta, they seem to be the lines of experience, on his face... beautiful portrait, like your portraits always are... the way he looks down adds a lot to the sad mood in the shot... a touching one indeed...

all the best man...

Γειά σου Κώστα,
Ένα ακόμα υπέροχο πορτραίτο δοσμένο με τρυφερότητα μέσα από το φακό σου. Καταπληκτική στιγμή, υπέροχη δουλεια!

Hi Kostas,
on my trips to Greece I saw lots of those men - and women!
This portrait is full of understanding and grace.
I like it that you put it into b&w as this mode makes faces look better.
Thanks for sharing.

Βγαίνουμε στις ανοικτές θάλασσες, οι ναυτικοί πιο σκεφτικοί, τρέχουν πάνω κάτω σαν αλλοπαρμένοι, η θάλασσα φουσκώνει κι αγριεύει, εδώ τελειώνουν τ αστεία.
Το μάτι θολώνει απ την αλμύρα και ο άνεμος που μας κτυπά στο πρόσωπο αλύπητα.

Hi Kostas, my dream is to have a pension by a seaside for my retirement term.. and in your notes i saw this real dream of this man.. yes you're right that every wrinkle tells the story, memories.. the daylight touches softly to him.. nice and meaningful portrait..
Regards,
Rela

Κώστα καλημέρα,
πολύ καλό το πορτραίτο του Μπάρμα Τάσου με το πρόσωπο του να μας δείχνει τι έχει περάσει στην ζωή του.Αληθινό ψυχόγραμμα σε μαυρο-άσπρο,με εξαιρετικές λεπτομέρειες, φως και σημείο λήψης.Το φόντο πίσω του, σωστά επιλεγμένο,αναδυκνύει τα αδρά χαρακτηριστικα του προσώπου του.

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Περισσότερο από υπέροχη!!!!!
Διαβάζοντας τις κριτικές που έλαβε η φωτογραφία δεν μπόρώ παρά να συμφωνήσω με τον Δάνο! Νοιώθω ότι θέλω να προσθέσω ότι έχεις προσεγγίσει με τέχνη το προτραίτο...και ότι έχεις αναδείξει με ευγένεια κάθε "ρυτίδα". Μεταφέρεις όχι απλά ένα πρόσωπο...αλλά και την ιστορία του! Υπέροχη Κώστα!
Πολλούς χαιρετισμούς,

kalimera kostas,
this is first class a close up,
i like your choice the b/W,
congrats,

Hello Dear Kostas,

This man is Popeye the Sailorman, his weathered face having seen rough seas, still seas, and now retired. He probably has the large forearms, bulging with muscles, but has forsaken the pipe hanging from the side of his mouth. Super portrait in your signature B&W.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Ela Kosta mou,
How you always find those old men is curious, do you live on an island of veterans?
His expression makes me sad, he looks tired of life, yet still not broken. What troubles did he live through to have so many wrinkles on his forhead?
Anyway, great use of light and DOF. I also like how his BG is divided into two parts, light and dark.
Ta leme,
Deniz

Geia sou Kosta!

Γειά σου Κώστα!
Ανάμυκτα αισθήματα, αλλά και συναισθήματα για έναν απόμαχο της θάλασσας που με το εκφραστικό πορτρέτο που μας χάρισες, μας λέει όλα εκείνα που πέρασε και γράφτικας στό γεμάτο ρυτίδες πρόσωπο!
πολύ η συμπάθεια μου!
νάσαι καλά!
χαιρετώ σε!

Hello my dear friend,
what I said once for your portraits is valid here - its amazingly touching the way you see the elderly people. And you're so right...one face, many stories. A wonderful b&w portrait. Ta leme Kosta :)

Εντυπωσιακότατη φυσιογνωμία Κώστα, μπορώ να την παρομοιάσω και σαν σκληρό βράχο σκαλισμένο από τον χρόνο.
Πάρα πολύ καλό πορτραίτο.
Καλό απόγευμα.
Βαγγέλης
