There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

I really like this...he's got a friendly sort of face, even with being somewhat expressionless. Beautiful shot and processing!

Ah, Santa ! This is the guy I took for you before I learn what a champ in every sport you are !!! :))
He seems dancing, and I like the browny tones here, and his smile too (but i prefer yours, buddy !)

un portrait magnifique, traité comme une peinture, avec les murs de briques, aux couleurs chaudes, les graffitis et l'usure du temps.

Oh me... he looks like the American version of Santa Claus. Maybe Mrs. Santa is inside awaiting.
This is truly a beautiful image. I love the detail of this man. He has character and he appears happy and content.

There is so much detail to this one. I cannot say enough about this picture.
