I wonder what his story is? by shepherdman

I wonder what his story is?

This chap is a regular at Hinckley Rugby Club, where @shepherdmanswife and I enjoyed a pre-match dinner a couple of weeks ago. I have photographed him before at a match – he is the sort of character that almost demands to be photographed, a classical elderly gentleman with cap and pipe. I find myself wondering about his history, wondering if he was once a rugby player. He has a style most appropriate for the occasion, and seems content with life, happy with who he is. Does anyone else people-watch, analysing the folk that pass before them?
I am always making up stories about the people I see. Why they are where they are, how they are related (if more than one), etc. I really like this thoughtful image.

Does he know you are taking his picture? He is a wonderful subject. I love this POV too!

You've captured him perfectly - he looks very at peace with his pipe.

This is a great portrait! I do people-watch. Sometimes I wonder what the people would think of the life I have imagined they have. :)

What a great portrait - delightful story to accompany it. Now to wonder how close it is! Wouldn't you like to know. Love the lighting.
