Portraits of the older generation




Thoughts of an old man 

While I'm putting them on the page, I wonder what that person is like. What they've done, what they've seen, what they've endured.
What they did during the hard times and the good times.
As I develop the features, the realization comes that the story of their lives is reflected in their faces, in their eyes.
All of it makes a portrait to remember them by, a portrait of who they are.
