Good portrait. He looks like a character.
 
Yes he IS a 'Character' now 87 years old -- still messing about with his photography -- he got made an 'Honorary Member' of Brentwood Photo-Club here in Essex and gives talks to Schools about WWII and the kids love him !
 
I like how focussing on the photography results in a pleasing softness on his face.
 
Sad News -- just after I took this photo with the Rollei HE gave me he died at home -- found by a Neighbour with the TV still on -- I was his 'Mentor ' at our Club -- what a Great Character he was and SO KIND ---
