Elder Statesmen

One Street: Market Square, Shipley #66

I've photographed Rehman (on the left) before. He remembered me and I actually managed to remember his name - which was quite a coup! He introduced me to Adbul (on the right) who is visiting from Pakistan for a few weeks. He had no English but we were able to communicate a little with our eyes and hands. They have tremendous dignity these elder statesmen of the community - and a tremendous pride in their appearance. Quite humbling really.

Nothing has flowed day. I feel like I'm in a debilitating state of limbo at the moment. Sorry guys. No energy for blip today.
