Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in Belgrade, on the fortress of Kalemegdan. It was late afternoon, just before the dusk. The old man was staring at the distance and he was all in his thoughts... I was sitting on a bench next to his, obsessed with his face. Suddenly, he took a deep sigh and put his head between his palms looking in front of himself. I took the opportunity to capture him in this position without being noticed. I didn't want to disturb him. Whenever I see this photo I can't ressist thinking of his life.Time

The photo was taken under natural light. I didn't use flash.Equipment
The photo was shot with an old Olympus E-410 with 14-42mm kit lense. I didn't use flash.Inspiration
The man's face was like carved out of stone, and I didn't want to miss the opportunity to photograph the story that face carries with it.Editing
The original photo was shot as a normal color photo but I thought that B/W photo would be much more suitable for the atmosphere.In my camera bag
Just a cammera and a tripod.Feedback
Try to be quiet and unobtrusive :)
