About Back to the series for a few posts...
This is one of our favorite customers. She is a genuine sweety, and comes in with her husband several times a week.
Maxine is 85 years old and she and Burton will be married for 65 years on June 8th.
Her husband says that the secret to their success is "agreeing to disagree", and that they've never had a fight in all their marriage! Pretty incredible...

Such a marvelous capture of this beautiful face. Maxine looks great for 85. There is a lot of living in her face and I am sure she has many stories to tell. There definately is a look of contentment here. 65 years of marriage is a long time--good for them.

Hi Susie,
Well, if they do have a fight now, after 65 years of storing up pent up anger, it will be a beauty :) My money is on Maxine BTW. :)

Only kidding of course. It really is nice to read that kind of story.

Wonderful portrait of this old woman, she does look the way you describe her, I guess she had this pretty smile because of the cinnamon she had.. : ), So nice of you to be taking their pictures, I believe that they appreciate it very much. These cafe kids are not getting younger anymore.. : ) great capture, I like the dark background it concetrated the focus on her face..
nice one Susie...

A good rule for all relations. Its name is tollerance. Another nice component of your very large family well captured.
Good Sunday Susie.

Wonderful photo and wonderful story. You capture so much in her face Susie. Well worth recording a 65th Wedding Anniversary.

Indudablemente sabio matrimonio además de un amor estupendo... la salud mental de ambos se refleja en ese rostro calmo y sonriente.

Love the cafe kids title you give to the older folk..lovely capture and nice detail in the face ..a lifetime of memories in those eyes..nessa


Markus Scholz   {K:22812} 5/23/2006
Lovely kid portrait, Susie, and good to see you on the frontpage after my return.

Regards, Markus


Larissa Nazarova   {K:12212} 5/23/2006
Fantastic portrait with great expression. You can see a wisdom on that face, a years of life.
Just one things, Susie, it's need to be separate b/k from model, which means- give some light to the b/k.
My regards, Larissa


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 5/24/2006
PS Good to see you on the front page Susie!


Liz Wallis   {K:25628} 5/28/2006
a great story to go with this great capture Susie :) Could you imagine spending 65 years with someone? A whole lifetime.


Shirley Grove   {K:5406} 5/29/2006
Wonderful capture Susie - and with me also having a Coffee Shop with lots of elderly regulars - I have some customers JUST like this. It's a wonderful portrait and one can see the gentleness within the face.
I must have a look at your series!!
Well done
Shirley


jacques brisebois   {K:57481} 5/30/2006
looks like a real sympatic grandma. Great portrait Susie


Randy Lorance   {K:24958} 6/1/2006
This is a fine BW portrait Susie, magnificent tonal range and detail without being over sharp. Very natural look capturing personality.
"Agree to disagree"....damn, i've had it backwords all these years...no wonder I'm unattached!!
If I were to nitpic, it looks to me like her left eye lacks some twinkle her right eye has, some judicious PS could help, but it's a minor thing.
Really nice work

Randy

Another wonderful monotoned portrait of a very charming and delightful older Cafe Kid and yet another of so many of your posts I missed whilst away on holiday. Beautifully and thoughtfully taken soft focus study Susie and such a wonderful 'about' concerning her and her man. Well done sweetie. I am, of course, still so far behind so, I will 'see' you again soon my dear..All the best......Ray
