This was a black and white photo I took with my 35mm Pentax-K-1000. I then imported the photo into photoshop where i manipulated it by adding some striations and some grain to give it more of a gritty feel, opposed to a glossy look. I have a small addiction with taking photos of old men on benches no matter where I am. I happened to be in Boston for this photo shoot, right outside of Quincy Market. I thought the man just had some sort of accomplished relaxed demeanor that really caught my eye. I always admire the relaxed because it is so not what i am!
