spontaneous snapshot
candid and unduplicated
a fleeting moment

This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is to share a picture that captures a fleeting moment on the street. It’s rare for me to attempt street photography, so I had to dig deep into the archives for this photo (scanned from a negative and leaving just a hint of blue color in the ocean). I’m drawn to the mustache, hat and quiet contemplation from this older gentleman, and the energizing feeling of the ocean backdrop!
Creativity Aroused 
This is great. It sort of looks like the ocean is about to pounce on the lovely old man!
But luckily it isn’t (about to pounce I mean!)
Love this one!
I love this photo. It expresses such loneliness.
Fabulous shot!!
that iss one amazing image…beautiful, sad, sweet
He looks like he would have a wealth of good stories to share if anyone sat down and joined him.
Lovely shot. The man sounds to have a great history.
What a beautiful shot!
Love this photo! It reminds me of “Go placidly amidst the noise and haste …”
That is a fantastic shot Fergie and I love the color scheme too. 😉

This is a truly beautiful composition and I love the pale colour. The old gentleman looks to be such an interesting character.
Wonderful image. I love the contrast between the still, contemplative, man and the energy of the sea and the moving tablecloths. I like this a lot.
Fantastic – well done
U r soooooooooooooo Talented xoxoxoxo
Timeless – what a moment!
Great! An symbolic image. It seems many white sails that the wind inflates.
right away i was wondering what that man was seeing in his minds eye?
raw energy versus a moment of serenity. Love this, and I do like the way the scan came out too!
Yours is a magical world!
Thank you for sharing the wonder of it!

There is so much composure and peace seen on this gentleman, even though he is backed by those surging waves! I have a feeling this gentleman experiences many such “fleeting moments”! Wonderful sharing!

so peaceful!
Wonderful study! The old man and the sea…faring life behind him.
ah! this shot is fantastic!
With great swelling and crashing waves out of the DOF in the background. This is an incredible shot.
Like a scene from the movie.
Elegant gentleman sitting very calmly but the sea water behind is just so strong and dynamic. i love these contrast.
must be wonderful to rest there …
