I love this picture not only because of the man's weathered face, but because of the beard. It reminds me of a pine or ever greet tree(the prickly ones that seem to last an eternity.)

i love this photo because he looks very weathered and wise but he seems to regret some of the things he has seen in his life. he almost seems to be crying.

Wow, he does look like he's seen it all, mostly. He probably saw both good and bad, and saw a lot of pain in his life too. I love the emotion in this piece -- it's wonderful how you captured something like that with a camera...

He looks as though he's reached that point that he's seen so much he doesn't really need to see much much. Your photo tells this story well. Masterfully done.

I love this shot! It's just as emotive and powerful as "The Weight of the World."

This one really stood out among the young men in your gallery, and of your work, it's probably the one I like best. It's a great shot with a title that sums up its mood nicely.

He seems to me like a mystic that has chosen what he does because it's the only way he can find the answer to his question.

In the thumbnail I thought it was a wise old man, but your photo captured more. He looks like a weathered old man, perhaps not so wise. Probabally a little more beaten down. Wow, I love the stories your photos my mind can build around.

Yeah, he was pretty weathered. I took this photo in this very small rule town called Old Shawnee town in IL. It's a very poor town and most of it was fallling apart. I gave this man a few bucks for his time.

Ah, the leather face, beard, closed eyes. Image of a man who has seen more then he wished for, and can not forget.

He looks deep inthought, or he is one of those old guys that keep falling asleep in conversations
