A sensitive picture made wonderful by the story which goes inextricably with it. Thanks to the both of you.

Thanks for sharing a great story and a wonderful portrait. I wonder if the people who made that lens ever considered that it might still be making classic portraits over a century later.

Jesus left us for home on Thursday August 30. He was one of those people that we need so badly in the human race. Always a smile, ever, ever positive. The picture that I made will grace his obituary and perhaps be a comfort to his family.

Jim,

WONDERFUL image and the picture conveys so much about the man!

Wish Jesus a happy birthday from the LF gang on this forum.

Cheers

PS: I'm in line after Hugo, ok Jim?

Sorry to hear about his passing... it sounds like he's in a better place now.

Images like this one give you a sense of having recorded something very temporal. It brings to mind Psalm 39:5

Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor.

I think that's why portraits like this contain the same beauty as Adams "Clearing Winter Storm" - you know that things can never be exactly the same again.

I'm glad you were there to capture that moment, and that you were kind enough to share it with us.

RIP, and Thanks for sharing the info Jim..I wondered about him from time to time.

You gave his family something to remember him by, and my hope is there are 100 years of photographs to tell his story...that is someting I would love to see.

Jesus, meet Jesus!

Sorry for the families (and your) loss. But the time you took to make this photograph will comfort the family for years to come, I'm sure.

jesus may have left us for home but one can easily thank the kindness in your heart to remember him and present him to us - that in my book would make you someone in the same league as jesus, a fine human being - inspiring work jim
