Description
An elderly pensioner wearing a fur Ushanka hat stares into the camera as he stops to talk as he takes his daily walk in Ufa, Russia in 2016. This street photography is a portrait of the aged. A senior citizen walking in the cold winter months makes a very striking unique art image especially when converted to black and white.
With glinting white eyes that tell us so much of the past this gentleman stood proud as the photo was taken. He spoke to me of the past Soviet cameras and techniques used in the past. I hope he still continues his daily walks to this day and beyond.
Usually street photography involves capturing people unaware of the camera, this pose though is different, it is constructed, however I feel the emotion and stance of the gentleman speaks volumes about the courage of life.
