 Kaafa in Dhivehi means Grandfather.

My Grandfather.
I don't think he'd be around for long. He doesn't remember me anymore. He remembers little at all now.

** He died on the 8th of March 2007.

This is outstanding, so moving image, Aznym. I love the sharpness and colors. Can´t believe your grandfather was not among the highest photos.

After reading your note, I wish you included more on the background, so that I´d get a better understanding of this man´s life. Now I got to like Kaafa, his radio and the wrinkles life wrote on him.

I like this. Not only is the subject centered in the photo, but he looks like a well centered individual.

Often portraits do better in black and white, but this wouldn't, it's great as it is! Nice focus.

This is lovely work. I think you may get comments re. the bright/hot spot on his forehead...difficult thing, I know, to get around...but I like it anyway.
