Oh, I really like this one even if it is black and white. An old man relaxing in his yard in the country with an American flag and flowers in the background. He looks so much like home and family that I write this with tears in my eyes.

Hahah I have this awesome feeling that his personality is being hidden in this. He is probably some hilarious guy that hates sitting down and is doing things all the time. He is too serious to be serious.

I love his countenance. He looks like he's just sitting out there, waiting to tell the kids to stay off his lawn. The wicker chair and americana background is great stuff.

His shoes look weird, like they've been stuck on. He looks like an ornery s.o.b. - as you Americans like to say

Commenters: That's my father you're talking about, so watch it! He is much more amusing (and frequently amused, by everything) than he lets on, although there is a glimmer of mischief and characteristically exasperated nonplussedness here that Bill has captured beautifully. I must protest, however, that the man has never lounged on the lawn a moment in his life (on wicker, no less!). Beautiful work, Bill. I had no idea!

Fantastic b&w portrait and terrific background.

This photography is so distinguished. It would look gorgeous framed.
