My Grandfather

[Mansi]

... tales of partition (india/pak)
...... of the simple life
......... and of how he met his wife! (i think he's worn that ring for over 54 years)
yep that's my grandad... a charming 88 y o man! My grandparents just moved in with us and i tried a few shots when my cousin (their other granddaughter) visited us for a day from bombay on sunday.
I dont know why but this shot stood out for me more then the faces ...
... hope this is appropriate posting in here

thanks for looking

Great shot, they look as if they have been through a lot. In many ways they tell just as much as a face

Very cool shot. It is amazing sometimes how such a simple shot can say so much.
