    I love this photo, the softness of the light. I also think I may have been walking behind this man while out shopping today.

    Nicely caught.
    I have more on top, but not much. We could be equal round the front though.

    If he were to pull it all up on top into a bun it might cover up his balding head. I like candid shots like this.

    What a wonderful tribute to the 'man' behind the wheel, which allows so many people to get to and from their destination.

    Guess that there are many times unknown stories just in front of us, and it would be a joy if people would speak with eachother again.
    Brilliant photography.

    Please have a nice Sunday.

    Great subject for your monochrome. Interesting that this would catch your photographic eye. But the picture is really intriguing. Ponytails on older men make me think they have an unique view of life.

    Oh yes, and it creates a story, about what he is looking at out the window, oblivious to how he looks to others.

    I imagine he heard you clicking away and wondered what in the devil you were taking pictures of... Makes me smile.

    An excellent candid shot! I love the way he apparantly suspects nothing.

  33. JulieDecember 16, 2009 7:46 am

    I don't think he had any idea. It spoils it when the subject realises. They instantly pose!

    He was as interesting from the front as he is from the back. The sort of man who is very comfortable in his own skin.

    What a shot - you see so much detail and mix in the greys.
