Description
Premto has joined my occasional gardening team who do the heavy things I can no longer do.
He is Greek and tells me his name means 'Friday Man' !
I love the fact that my town is so multi-national !
See the colour version, which I like much less Here

Yes...your color piece is quite nice, but the black and white brings out the intensity of this man. It's yet another proof that black and white is sometimes more 'truthful' than color---it gets at essences, at the nitty gritty. Beautiful portrait, Andrea, esp full size. You got a spirit here, mixed with a rough-hewn genuineness, and one of those smiles that comes from way inside a person. Gotta be seen full size---a terrific beaming portrait!
(More boring stuff from me, which you can ignore: In a previous life, I studied basic Greek, and Greek for 'man' is "andras". So I have no idea how Premto relates---but names come from so many places, they have a history all their own. I love that he knows his name's history, and i love that name! Also, your name is from the same root as "man": "andr"---but you have the feminine form. ((Andrew comes from that.)) These useless tidbits are free of charge, but we accept donations...)
A fantastic portrait. The words that come to mind are 'rough hewn', 'lived in face', 'been around'. Such character.
his face has character of which other men are jealous of - I concur with your assessment of the B&W vs Colour
Excellent shot
Nice portrait.
Excellent !!
Both photos are awesome of the newest member !
Like the translation of his name.
I am on board with you when it comes to multi nationalities !
Lovely photo, also like B/W.
Excellent portrait, love the expression !!
Great portrait. My guy that does the heavy trimming and lifting is Mexican. Came over as a child illegally, but is now a citizen and does great work. His dad, my age, still helps him occasionally!
He looks like a fine person! I like the look in his eye.
