A field, an old wooden table, a bandjo player. He seems alone in the world. He plays for himself. His long hair and beard hide his face. Did he remove his shoes to be in harmony with nature, to better feel the earth? During his professional life, was he required to wear a uniform or a particular outfit? Did he have to have a classic look? What questions we can ask ourselves about his professional past! Well, there this man seems to live his life without constraints, without obligations. That’s the advantage of retirement. He lives his life, he plays for him. Congratulation!

In the middle of the street but Imperturbable! There’s a retired man who takes the time to read his newspaper. He is shod with sandals and dressed in comfortable clothes. His backpack placed next to him, makes us think that he travels for leisure. Parked cars lead us to believe that the street is crowded with vehicles that are also on the move and that there are undoubtedly also a lot of passersby. The street is undoubtedly noisy. This man has the time and leisure to focus on what he reads. What he discovers as news seems to be taken him out of context. He is like glued, screwed onto the bench. The light illuminates his diary and his white beard. Two tones only in this very interesting image. but one message time has stopped and he will only resume his path when he has decided. That’s the advantage of being retired. Congratulation!

What better than board games to have a good time with your old friend? The photographer perfectly captured the subject’s expression.

A perfect image for this contest : A well-matched retired couple who take the time to read the news from their country during a day of visit. A small backpack between Mr.’s legs, comfortable shoes and clothes confirm that they are on a walk. Sitting on the steps of a staircase in a very casual manner, they seem to be flourishing while caring about what is happening in their country, Italy. The framing is perfect. The subject is very clear. I really like this image which perfectly responds to the subject of this contest. Congratulation!
