Hello Friends

Take me back to the days
When people believed in chivalry
Being a good man was a goal
Take me back to the days when children were a gift
When nature was a playground for them
Where innocence left of its own will
Take me back to the days
When women could raise there children
And being a good mother and wife was important
Where it was appreciated
It seems to me in man quest for equality, change
We forgot that some things, ought not to have been
Life become easier but necessarily better
So take me back to those days
Or did they ever really exist

Priscilla Monroy


i have spotted this man was in red at the bank of holy river Yamuna in Vrindavan (land of Lord Krishna). a Man in deep thoughts or praying to the lord for those days.
the grey background wall is natural, no PP work has been done.

regards
Manuj Mehta

hello Manuj

The deep red color of the cloth he is using makes this shot very catchy with its strong contrast, but the portrait itself is very well captured here with a head tilt.

The great Indian gentleman's portrait is very special.
His face reflects his strongness and spirituality.
His red cloth gives this portrait a special mood.

Impressive portrait! All portraits from you are like that!
This one with the thoughtful glance of this old man and the striking red veil is especially attractive.
Excellent contrast with the gray blurred background.

I have been working a lot lately and have missed many good photos as this one. Good background for this interesting man with the red veil covering him. I love the theme, the composition, the colors. And, yes, "take me there, when being a good mother and wife was important. Thanks a lot for being such a good photographer and for taking the time to include such a good note.

Hi Manuj,

Again a very impressive portrait with a though provoking note.
Those values are still in place, only modern times make it sometimes harder, because sociëty is expecting different things.
