The Sartorialist

I love a face with character. When we erase age we eliminate all that it took to get us this far.

It's a weathered face of experience, perception and happiness; it's a beautiful face.

The face that smiles to life…
The one that anyone makes any kinda comment, but is the one that doens't need much and teach us a lot…

OH GOD!!! AWESOME PHOTO!!!

lovely, lovely, lovelyy!
have a god T.Day. (so special post!)

i love the way his eyes are smiling too. the best accessory that money can't buy!

What a wonderful face! Great shot.

wow he has so much character. awesome photo!

He reminds me of the painter at Calvin Klein, Milan. Another beautiful portrait.

OH MY you found him again! this picture just brought a smile to my day – thanks, I needed that :)

Thank you!!

So much history and life is spoken in this photo. May we all live long enough to showcase such wisdom!

face with character makes a beautiful picture.

This photo is incredible — you've captured the essence of this man. I want to meet him and listen to any story he has for me!

Oh, what stories I bet he can tell. And most appropriate in black and white!

He is so so charming…very hugable!!!

he's wonderful!! reminds me of my great grandfather – they have similar features!! did you find out about him – is he Greek? he sure looks it!

Wow! Amazing portrait, he looks so kind and all-knowing.

Very compelling.

I love this piece
there's nothing more beautiful than a face which shows age, and I think the black and White of this really adds to the depth:)

Is this a reworking of the same photo?
I remember one you posted of him before. Anyhow I like. It was one of my favorite pictures. :)

i looooooove him! =) nice pic!

this is lovely! just perfect!

Beautiful portrait.

This is beautiful! But can you dodge the eyes a little? I would love to see a little more detail there.

No need to parrot what all others are raving about already… Just want to add that you really have become such an influence on so many people– casual and artistic snappers alike with your simple, unpretentious and dynamic portraits; aristocrats, socialites, fashion royalties, art school kids, eccentrics, and this gentleman, are all equally regal and beautiful. It's all about the individual's style.

Thanks for always sharing.

The face of a man straight out of a Hemingway novel.

Your blog is about to become a very interesting one. I was actually kind of bored lately; all your pictures depict very good stylished people…all very well taken. And with this picture, you're going to a new direction, a new level. Keep up the very good work.

Great! Real people again!

Deeply admire the photography of a person in their clothes, not clothes on a person.

Good to see he is still around and still smiling.

He has this amazing sense of joy to his expression.

Love this! Tells more than a thousand words!

Ditto on the Hemingway comment; I also love how you've brought out the texture of his beard. The salt & pepper contrast is striking!

This really is beautiful

Great face-porcupine scruff! Reminds me a bit of the style of chiaroscuro in Strand's images you posted from the Hebrides. Amazing how expressive his eyes are, without even showing the whites.

The expression is everything, and the way you've captured it (again! I loved that photograph of him you took yonks ago) is wonderful.

I love that you've been highlighting people more and more in your photos. The portraits are a great glimpse into more than just their attire — I love it. Thanks!

he has such character. One of the most captivating faces you've posted thus far–bravo!

This photo is incredible. He looks so joyful and serene at the same time. The details in this are stunning.

you've everything said :) and you are all right, he is such a kind of cute.
