This image was taken in Xi'an, China. This elderly man was just sitting at the side of the road, watching as the daily bustle of China's ancient capital unfolded around him.
As above - I love candid photos as well and this one is good. Its nice to sit and stare on occasions and watch the world go by. This chap reminds me of some of my locals! I always like portraits in b&w - and this is no exception, well done.
Powerful in the way it creates an image in one's mind about life in a different world.
The kind of photo I would expect to see on the cover of Life magazine in its heyday.
