Scanned paper photography found in my archives.
I shot this one in a small village in Madagascar in 1970. When I asked to this old man his age he said that he had no idea, and added that he made the most of his life...
Photo sur papier scannée que j'ai retrouvée dans mes archives. J'ai pris cette photo dans un petit village à Madagascar en 1970. Quand j'ai demandé son age à ce vieux monsieur, il m'a répondu qu'il n'en savait rien et il a ajouté qu'il avait bien profité de la vie...

What a characterful face he has. The fact that he had no idea of his age is very telling - life is obviously for living, not counting the years! Great portrait.

Excellent portrait !
richard standley: Many thanks Manju.
Beau portrait. La lumière est dure mais elle met en relief le visage buriné de cet homme. Difficile de lui donner un âge, mais on devine une vie rude sous le soleil parfois écrasant de Mada. J'aime aussi son attitude à la fois humble et pleine de caractère.
richard standley: Merci beaucoup Evelyne, la luminosité était très forte quand j'ai pris cette photo, comme c'était souvent le cas à Mada d'ailleurs. J'aurais pu atténuer un peu le contraste en la mettant sur papier, mais je l'ai volontairement laissée telle quelle pour faire ressortir les traits de son visage.
Fantastic portrait Richard!
I can feel the History behind his face. Good job
richard standley: Many thanks Capture it.
it's a great portrait, excellent light, shadows, etc. this isn't intended as a criticism of your shot, but sometimes when i see portraits sort of like this of old people with lots of wrinkles, not dressed so nice, looking sad, i sort of see it as a stereotype, and think about how there must be more to them than that...
richard standley: Many thanks Danthro. I quite agree with you about the stereotype. There is definitly more to him than that!
Amazing story and image. A lot of character in his face.
richard standley: Many thanks Mike.
An exquisite character shot. Likey.

Bonsoir , il est superbe ce portrait mais avec toute ces rides, oui ke pense qu'il n'était plus tout jeune
Je ne sais pas pourquoi, je suis triste quand je vois des personnes si âgées Bisous et bon week-end
richard standley: Merci Corinne. Il ne faut pas être triste car cet homme qui ignorait son âge avait toute sa tête et était la joie de vivre. J'avais 18 ans quand j'ai pris cet photo et 38 ans après je me souviens encore de cette merveilleuse discussion que l'on a eu à l'époque!
Bon week-end à toi. Bisous
