Modern Bedouin
This photograph reminds me of the sect of Arab Bedouin men from photographs of life in the desert. I have an etching by the Australian printmaker, Stewart E.Wade, “Bedouin Mendicant” (1921) who looks very much like this man. (Click to enlarge)

What a beautiful photograph. I love that I can just see into his eye, just under the temple of his glasses.

That was my husband during the winter before he died. He’d lost a lot of weight in his face. This photograph reminded me of somebody’s ancestor. It’s one of my favorites too. Thanks.

It IS Deano. This was shot the winter before he died at the end of the next July. He was already very thin.
