Grandfather
I love this handsome, kind looking, older gentleman. He has a sanguine face and a gentle smile. There are some remnants of sadness in his eyes, as he has seen his fair share of trouble throughout his long life. However, he always pulled through it with a renewed sense of optimism and hope for the future.
This small photobooth photo comes from the USA and probably dates to the mid 1950s.
Great photo, I like your analysis. 💕

If you mean those of older relatives who have died, I agree, Mr O. I still miss my grandparents.

Seems like a guy with some really good stories but you’d have to coax them out.

He looks confident, or maybe, bemused and not sure what pose to strike.
