So many times when I see a very old person like this I think that once they played ball, rode bikes, played games with their kids and got around in general very easily. I agree with Sue. This is very poignant.
We're all agreed I think - poignancy is the prevalent emotion in this shot. Amidst all the clutter of 'stuff' vying for our attention, it's the human condition that stands out - an excellent piece of social reportage Larry.
