Little old man

Eric, from Paris Daily Photo, has been publishing a series of photos linked by a ‘walking’ theme. We do not have traffic lights in Antigua, but people does still cross the streets, and they not always do it at the intersection.

Does people in your town respect the little green man that Eric talks about?

Gratitudes: I want to thank Fred for his donation towards the hosting bills of this site. There are three things that motivate me to continue with the work at Antigua Daily Photo, that feedback I receive, the returning visitors and donations towards the hosting bills. Thanks everyone for doing at least two the three things that motive me to continue.

How can I donate towards the hosting bills of Antigua Guatemala Daily Photo? I am glad you asked. Just click on the blue button below the search form on the top of the sidebar and follow the instructions there.

In the words of Neal Young.

“Old Man”

Old man look at my life,
I’m a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I’m a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there’s so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don’t get lost.
Like a coin that won’t get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I’m a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that’s true.

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn’t mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

I’ve been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I’m all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

as much as I like this picture, there’s something sad about it. than man hunched over as if told to go away. wonderful shot rudy!

thanks for popping by KLDP. I’m sorry I haven’t been over here much. And who is the photographer? I’m still very new to the world of photgraphy. I still haven’t found Barthe’s book either 😉

strong>Sompopo: that’s such a great song. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Meg: there is something about elders that fascinate me too.

Edwin: I feel something about this photo too, even though, it is not a good shot. There several copies of Roland Barthes’ “Camera Lucida” on the web (html, pdf, etc) but they are in Spanish and I do not think they will help you much unless you know Spanish.
