Enjoying with some nostalgia.

Steenplein in Antwerpen

While waiting for the waterbus to go back home I took a shot of this gentleman sitting at the next bench .
He heard the click and asked if I had his pic.
We started a conversation and he told me he was born in Antwerp but lived now in Aachen(Germany)and that nostalgia pushed him to do the 150 km trip to see the city and the river.
Further conversation revealed our paths could have crossed in Aachen in 1967 where he was a nurse and I was stationed at the same period in the 1 Cie Med Dep.

Beautifully natural colors, Ed, and a fine portrait. So glad you got to chat with the gentleman and discovered your overlapping histories. :)

Very nice catch Ed, and there's definitely a story going on with memories shared.

Why is it that a man smoking a pipe always makes a good picture?
Ruth and Roy have covered the quality of the picture - it is a very interesting candid which appeals to me..

Very nice capture Ed, the light, colors, good detail and DOF all very good. The skin tones look perfect to me. Interesting to hear that you used Photoshop.
