This guy was a pilot shot down in WWII over Germany who survived a POW camp, now old and partially paralyzed from a stroke. Now he is barely able to manage a smile.
He was in the same camp from which "The Great Escape" (movie title) occurred but he was not there at the time of that escape. He looks suspicious and skeptical of me, doesn't he?

@donaldejose The gentleman's eyes seem to me to be boring completely through the image - accusing the viewer of some great, unspecified offense. (I must have read too much Kafka). Great work.

donaldejose

Yes, Capt_Spaulding. Tomorrow I will post one of him not smiling! His look made me wonder if he was mistaking me for a Nazi prison guard.

This is the former WWII POW before I could get a half smile out of him.

The Accademia museum in Florence has, in addition to its sculpture collection, an extensive set of religious paintings, circa 14th century.

I'm posting up this shot because all of a sudden it's my most popular photo on Flickr.

Not sure why, but if I evaluate it, it seems like I've got a nice rule of thirds going.



I can never figure out what or why things become popular on Flickr.

Work gave me an all-expenses-paid trip to Ft. Walton Beach, FL.

The truth is, for various reasons, I moved out of Alaska in 2016. Am in Western Colorado now and enjoying it.

Love FWB. Went to school there from the middle of grade 7 to graduating HS. Lots of cool areas to photograph, especially around Destin before it became the place to go.

Thought your recent images looked familiar. I'm on the Front Range.

Okay, back to PAD...
