Face of Wisdom | A Portrait

© 2009 Wazari Wazir | Once Upon a Time in China Town

I was at Petaling Street or famously known as Malaysia China Town when I spot this guy, I ask him whether I can take a picture of him and also ask about his age, he told me that he was eighty nine years old age. A very lucky guy to be able to reach that age I guess.

I don’t have much time talking to that man because I was with a group of photographers there and I don’t want to interrupt that man having a great time there with few of their friends, I guess most of their friends there are about the same age of him, given the choice I would rather take a portrait of a man or a women at that golden age compared to taking picture of a beautiful model.

This man have a lot of stories to tell, maybe we can learn few things about life, about his experience, family life and all kind of things that will make us appreciate what life has to offer and hopefully we will not do the same mistake that older people do when they are young.
