Photographer’s Note

I found this old man in Odessa with nothing to do, smoking a cigar, certainly wondering about his WW2. A man apart from the actual world, proudly showing his war condecorations from more than 60 years ago.

Hello Ricardo,
Good portrait of your subject, well taken.

It is well worth to remember the old generation of WW 2.
I feel sad when I think of this old man who fought for his Country.
Hope he has reward in Heaven.

Regards,
Rob.

Hey Ricardo,
That is a nice portrait. He wears his medals proudly, as he should.

A vivid image. But I wonder how it would look in colors.

Regards.
