A black and white side profile portrait of an elderly homeless man with a weathered face, embodying a lifetime of experiences and challenges. The monochrome setting emphasizes the intricate details of his features, from the deep lines etched into his skin to the weary yet wise expression in his eyes. Set against a shadowy background, his expression is a complex mix of melancholy, wisdom, sanity teetering on the edge, and perhaps a touch of defiance. The image, captured with a Mamiya camera, conveys a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the life of someone who has seen and endured much, leaving an indelible mark of resilience and vulnerability.
