Lines of Wisdom

Posted by
Dokmateo (Madrid, Spain) on 28 May 2011 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Thanks for viewing my photos. Rest assured that I read all your comments and very well appreciated.

Jessica from Maehongson, Thailand

Nice words to go with this image. I especially like the quote about portraits being more about the photographer than the subject. That's a feeling I have surely had before ;) Beautiful work!

Escrito en la piel... los trazos de la edad! El paso de los años... La belleza de las arrugas... en un anciano son excel·lentes... las encuentro muy tiernas... aunque a mi no me gustan... prefiero no tenerlas...! Una imagen encantadora con un buen B/N!. Un abrazo, Adela

Congratulations on this wonderful spotlight. The high contrast is almost shocking,

a softness and wisdom, appearing beautifully in the photo.
