Pat's Photos: Almost a Smile?

Almost a Smile?

I was at the market last week and was trying out my zoom lens.

Almost a smile? Just a candid shot from the market. This elderly man was sitting waiting for his family at the St. Jacobs Farmers Market and after I took this photo of him from a great distance, he proceeded to straighten his cap and his collar! Once a police officer--always a police officer! He didn't miss a thing! He was a delightful gentleman. I went over to chat with him later and he had a Police Assn. cap on and he was retired from the Police and is 92 years old!

Do you like the black & white version or the coloured?

It shows him sitting in the shadows... (very "detective" like)pearing out from his old man disguise!
