    Thanks guys! And Ana, it has to be said that all Japanese men over 50 or so just seem to exude an air of total wisdom. Wax on, wax off...

    Actually the guy kinda looks like the japanese photographer Araki. Although he usually has an old Pentax slr hanging round his neck. Nice shot.

    this is an interesting photo. i like all those buttons on his jacket. are they his family, because if they are this could be considered a family portrait in a very unique way.

    The kind of shot only film can capture. I think it's great the way he's looking off intrigued by something, but yet he leaves his camera hanging untouched around his neck. In a "some things that are of interest, do not necessarily need to be photographed" kind of way.
