About I hope I'm not doing this gentleman an injustice, but he looked rather like he'd lost something!! Or just put something down and forgot where he put it?

If that's anywhere near to the truth then I have every sympathy, because I'm always doing such things!! Keys, sunglasses, camera (not my D70 I hasten to add), but you name it and I've mislaid it?

Sometimes I go upstairs to fetch something, get up there and forget why I went! I dare not stop half way up the stairs because I'd probably forget whether I was going up or coming down!!

Anyway, this shot is warmly dedicated to all such folk!! Those, who like me, are afflicted with a failing memory.

Best regards to you all,

Bert! ;-)

Chris, I was going to say something but, forgot what it was.
I swear, I'd forgot my head if it wasnt attached to my shoulders.
I know how this gentleman, and you, feels.
Oh yea, I remember now, good shot. LOL

I seem to have that vacant stare a lot of the time anymore. What am I doing now.. A great capture and you indeed did not do him an injustice. I t hink he would like it. Don.

Interesting expression, good range of tones. There's almost a Leica "glow" to the image, but I assume this is some kind of artifact (I mean the brighter rim of light particularly obvious above the man's back).


Merete Westerdahl   {K:11046} 8/20/2004
Hello Bert...nice photo you got here.. ;-)
I wonder if it's ok to upload 'innocent' people..just like that!!! Perhaps you should have asked him..???

WOW......... great work, Chris!
You got it!!!

funny You bring "memory" up...
i was this week at the Homeopathic Doctor to ask for a help for recent memory loss... recent things like: did i call.... or i just did it?!?

what's next ... Doc said? i worried!
Doc asked about my routine... and i went through details and he said i'm too busy with thoughts and "to do List"!
...so he explained that our mind may use up all energy available and that i needed to soothe stress and some Ginko biloba, Phosphorus and Kali phosph. would do the trick!
guess what?!?
three days now and i feel LOTS better!
*sparkle*

kind regards,
Regi

Hi Mr S :-) I like this image - the blurred background is great, and there seems to be a glow around the man, which I like.
Nice soft B&W.
Linn
