The first picture shows my 98-year-old grand-uncle (back then he was probably around 94...photography seems to be running in the family), the picture below was taken in Bruxelles in 2003 (in a very lovely café in a somewhat hidden back street), I took the one underneath at the station in Frankfurt/Germany (if memory serves me right, it was during the World Cup - 2006), I took the one below in Leiden/NL in 2004 (I like the placid mood of the shot, it was a lovely place to sit and chat over a cup of coffee), the last photo was taken in Geneva in December 2007, the sitting man was one of many similar exhibits that were 'all over the place' back then...it was a beautiful scenery - this one, a man sitting on a bridge, was probably the most amazing exhibit.

Lovely photos, Stone. And, you're granddad is amazing. Look at him go at 94! Fills my heart with hope -- that's twice in two days for you, isn't it? If you're not careful, I'll be praying to you soon. :)

He really IS amazing...a very inspirational person...and so was my grand-mother...she was his sister (he's my grand-uncle :-)...my grand-mother and her other 6 siblings were/are an amazing bunch of people.
He bought his computer at 89!!! He's into photography - just like me - and he spends hours per day, touching up the pics that he takes...AND...he still drives his car...LOL...not sure what to think about that one though :-)
Talk to ya soon, Kai :-)
PS: I read you latest blog - just haven't had the time yet to comment.
He's a "hottie"!! ;)
My goodness I cannot believe he got a computer at 89 years old! That's just an amazing man right there!
Do I really need to tell you how gorgeous your pics are? I love black & white...
Thanx Akliah :-) So, you think expo ain't too pretentious ;-)

Very nice photos!

J'adore le noir et blanc !
J'aime beaucoup la photos de ton grand oncle ; il y'a pas à dire les hommes de cet age la son toujours trés classe.
T'as raison...en plus il adore la photographie - comme moi, et il a au moins 5 appareils numériques...cinq!!! A 98 ans!! Figure-toi!
Merci de ton compliment, sérieux...j'aimerais tant faire une exposition, mais j'ai peur que mes photos ne soient pas assez bonnes...on verra...
Quel homme ! J'adore le fait qu'il reste moderne il me fait penser à ma grand-mère c'est pareil.
En tout cas moi j'adore ce que degage tes photos. Ca serai bien qu'une expo se fasse... Je ne parle pas spécialement technique etc.. niveau photos mais de sentiments et tes photos degagent beaucoup de chose.
Sérieux? Elles degagent quoi, parce que moi, j'ai pas assez de distance pour le voir...ca m'intéresse réellement.
Merci de toute facon!
Par rapport à l'aspect technique...j'ai un appareil hyper-banal, 3 à 5 mega-pixel...rien de spécial...pas de gros trucs...une Nikon Coolpix, figure-toi...la technique n'est pas très raffinée.
Comme tu dis 'la technique n'est pas raffinée'
Il degage quelque chose de romantique , on sent aussi tout de suite que tu aimes ca. Et j'aime beaucoup les angles que tu prend aussi. Ca nous donne envie d'etre de l'autre coté à l'endroit où tu as prise la photos.
Merci de ton feedback! Ce que tu dis est très intéressant!
