This old man owns the music shop with his son. Shot in Plaka, Athens. He spoke with me in Turkish and said his father and mother had been migrated from Anatolia.

Welcome back, Nezih. You know, this site is just not the same without you and your great photography!
This is a fine environmental portrait which speaks most eloquently to me.
