This photo has it - wonder when it was taken.
Would work with many different crop's too, but I like this version - due to all the small parts to see, discover and read.
Story-telling is what makes it so catching, beside of the natural, unposed - posed portrait - extremely cool when you see the hand with the glasses.
This tells already a lot - strong hands, used to the things needed to be done, and so they threat the glasses.
Tempting - and fare away from the superficiality often seen in portraits of working people.

I like the whole setting - authentic is an other strong element here.

Georg Klamts kommentar sier det meste,
det bare og henge seg på,
et meget godt bilde.

Flott skildring dette, og som nevnt, GK sier det greit han.

Hi, thanx all of you. :) This picture was taken in 1982 I think. This is how I remember my grandfather -working. And always to satisfy the customer. I did the scanning today at the office. Now I'm home with my private PC and maybe it is a little to bright.

GK har sagt det meget fint.
Allikevel sitter jeg med to ting.
- jeg syns at ansikte drukner litt/ blir for lite frammhevet i/av bakgrunnen.
- er ikke helt fornøyt med venstere delen av bilde. Kanskje noe beskjæring der?
...men, det er ikke det viktigste i dette bilde.

mvh, Carsten S.
