I was chatting to this lady in a care home and she confided that she was quite wistful about her age. She had a loudly whistling hearing aid which she felt very embarassed about and she was conscious that it was annoying other residents. She was very philosophical however and I just grabbed a couple of shots as she looked distant with slightly saddened, moist eyes – despite the smile in her mouth.
She ticked me off afterwards (in a very charming, gentle way) when she realised that I'd snapped her.

A very haunting image of a face that has seen the ages. Beautiful convesion and you can almost feel the texture of her skin. Such a look of sadness in her eyes
A very lovely lady with a lot of stories to tell, I'm sure. She has gentle but caring eyes. I really like this in B&W and love the detail on her sweater for some reason. A nice candid portrait (yes, there is such a thing.)
