Old man ancient habbits, a photo from Rhone Alpes, South

Photographer's Note

"I'm the husband of the spouse of the alcoholic man" he told us arriving smiling and friendly. Lovely manners, ironic humor, incorrigible seducer in a very ludic kinf of way, he started chatting up the young lady beside me lighting up his cigarette just before being told off by the waitress... "que voulez vous, tout fout le camp!"

Bonjour Emmanuel
Tu as bien saisi le geste du fumeur qui "tire sur sa clope" et son regard malicieux.
Bonne prise

I love old people photos on TE. This is an excellent one. He reminds me of a hobbit from the Lord of the Rings. Excellent portrait and nice story too.
Greetings
Kate

Bonjour Manu,
Absolutely perfect portrait, one of the best here.
There is some kind of truth about humans life in this picture.
I hope, your model will be alive in his hundred and still drinking and smoking! :)
Greetings from Dublin!
