Artist's Comments

This is Walt and Helen. They have been married since Noah decided to crash his boat. They are the nextdoor neighbor to a good friend of mine, and have got to be the funniest couple I've run across in a long time. Walt is a tag sale-aholic. He'll buy ANYTHING, and attempt to resell for a profit (rarely does it work) and as such, his back and side yards have become veritable curio museums in and of themselves. He's always smiling about something, while Helen is one of the most proper (and nice) women I've ever seen. She just seems to sit there and deal with him. We were sitting around on a lazy summer evening, and I had my camera waiting. When I saw Walt go off on a tangent, I readied, and just sat waiting for the expressions that would show them best for who they were

i love this picture. it makes me want to grow old faster... nothing ever made me want to do that before.
:iconacerbicat:
have i told you lately that you're an amazing photographer? because you are! thanks for the background story on these folks too. it really adds something to the image, though it is such a classic portrait that it doesn't really need anything added. great posing, great expressions. i want to meet these people! old couples are the best.
