étrange cette lumière sur cette chevelure qui brille dans la lumière crue, un monde en B&W qui crée la magie de la photo et surtout l'interrogation qu'elle crée.. qui est il, où va t-il.. il semble étranger dans son monde.. echevelé de vent et de doutes ..les épaules qui tombent..

Envy that white hair, can't wait 'till mine is that pure white!
My dad was already bald before he passed away at the age of 49 from stroke, I was always worry someday I'll go bald as well. Fortunately I got my mother's part for that and still have full head of hair at 56. I probably got 1/4 or 1/3 white already, wonder if I ever will have full white hair? How cool is that? :-)

To the man in the image the wind is dominant, everything else look superfluous.

The light and the apparent narrowing from the winds effect on the hair create something transformative.
