 A photo of a car-watch at my local Supermarket. There are a lot of ledgends about this old man in town, some good, some very bad. When I asked him for a photo he took out his false teeth and pulled strange faces. I just couldn't press the shutter, it were awful. I explained that I just wanted a normal photo of him. The rest of the day I felt terrible, and I felt very sorry for this old man. I wish I knew his real story.

The photo was taken in RAW-format.

Changed to B & W,
Contrast adjusted,
grained,
and croped in Photoshop.

The shadow under the bill of the hat seems a little dark but I like the shot overall.
