This 85 year old bloke is the last remaining original main street resident of Handorf near Adelaide.

When asked if he has ever been married he replies, "No, and I'm still a good catch."

He was awesome, he just sits out the front of his house talking to people.

Shame about the shade line on his nose, but otherwise this is a nice memory to have from my trip to adelaide.

Yeh, nice natural portrait, tons of character.
But that sunspot is very distracting

I love that town! One of my favourite places. Otto's bakery brings back so many memories of trips down there. My mother is moving down there early next year so I may have an excuse to visit!

He does exemplify the town though, shame about the sun spot, but a great character portrait none the less.

Handorf is beautiful, I stopped there for a couple of hours when I bought my car from Adelaide, the bakery and the lolly shop were great!

Fantastic portrait, plenty of detail in the texture of his skin.
