What a step back in time he is (well except maybe the Bic sticking out of his pocket). lol Terrific portrait, and as usually excellent job Jen. Off to my favs he goes.

I won't even guess the age because I'm terrible at that. But the photo is great. That blue shirt really yells out.

I know this is a real person, but the lines in his face and the superb quality of the iamge makes him look like a wax figure out of the museum of history Jennifer! What a grand time you must have had talking to this chap about the wild, wild west...bet he can spin some yarn..lol. I love everything about this and have put it in my favorites folder on my hard drive and into my screen saver slide show folder. Thanks so much for posting this for me to enjoy ;=)

Just because you asked, I think he must be close to 100. Great photo, Jennifer, well done.

I would guess him to be 65 or 70...Arizona sun can age ya fast...and leave wrinkles only due to the heat...I bet he collects old old non running cars that he sells the pieces from yes? I like the twinkle in his eyes..

Great Shot, at first I thought it was a incredible painting. But what a wonderful photo. You captured something here, spirit, tough worn spirit. I don't know what to say, it's just great. I would say he's 97. Will you let me know if I'm right, do I win any gumballs (haha). Thanx for sharing. LPF

Great shot .. is this some kind of theme town .. old west, etc .. some folks just love to play a part .. Was it difficult to ask that you be allowed a picture .. tourists, some parts are edible

this is one of those character shots that just begs to be Black & White .. but, alas, there are many ways to do that and not all yeild the same results .. maybe help will come along

I vote 70 something

If he's not a character actor then Hollywood is missing out. The setting fits him beautifully and he's a marvelous find.

Yes, one of the best people shots on the site!
His attitude is wonderful. Just a critic about the saturation in the blue, but it gives a very special mood here.
Congrats :-)
