Old Age, a photo from Volynska, West

Photographer's Note

OLD AGE—what does that expression bring to your mind? Wrinkled skin? Poor hearing? Feeble limbs?

AT WHAT age are you old? The answer seems to depend on whom you ask. Teenagers will happily banish anyone over 25 to this category.

W JAKIM wieku zaczyna się starość? Odpowiedź najwyraźniej zależy od tego, komu się zada to pytanie. Na przykład sporo nastolatków uzna za niemłodą każdą osobę powyżej 25 roku życia.

Witaj Bernardo!
Ta pani± ju¿ znam...
Kolejny portret ciekawej kobiety.
Nie wie czy cia¶niej nie by³oby lepiej.
Otoczenie nie dodaje uroku.
Ale to rzeczywisto¶æ tego miejsca.
Mi³ego wieczoru.
Krzysztof

Hello Bernarda. Peace within. An old woman sitting on the bed. Her gaze is directed inward. The text describes their situation very true. For me, this photo is a successful person study.
Rgds, Wolfgang.

Hello Bernarda,
An unflattering but honest portrait of a lady who has lived through troublesome times and may not see much future for herself. I think age is something best defined in your own mind.
Kind regards,
Gert

hi Bernarda

She seems resigned to stay in her bed, but she has a little rabbit of her grand children to think of them.
Cheers
