Description

#7 Vertical: Canon EOS 50D, 6:29pm, Aperature Priority AE, TV 1/100, AV 8.0, Evaluative Metering, -1 1/3 Exposure Compp, 160 ISO, EF28-135mmF/3.5, Focal Length 135.0mm, 5200K WB,Standard Picture Style. When I first saw this older gentlmen, he was sitting on the bench behind him. (3 people in front of 3 windows) We were in front of him in the town square talking to some re-enactors. My husband got a shot of him sitting on the bench. We walked across the street to the other corner and stood waiting/watching him and others around the town center taking street shots. When he got up and started toward me, I took this shot. To me he was probably a middle class professional who had come on hard times or may even suffer from slight dementia. The way he dressed, meandered slowly down the sidewalk was very reminiscent of an older gentleman I once observed 40 years ago - a Kodak moment one never forgets.
