This is Tom Gilzean, a 98yo WWII veteran who for the past 22 years has been rolling up and down the Royal Mile in his wheelchair collecting money for various Edinburgh charities - to date almost a million pounds. Very impressive!

Very nice Street Portraiture. But it isn't Street Photography.

That he only started this project at a mere 76 years of age is astounding! He still looks healthier than most of us when we are 76.

Really interesting image of a truely significant character.

Sue, it is a nice portrait. A suggestion: in future situations with this kind of topic, step back a little and wait around a bit until he asks for a donation, or, even better, someone steps up and donates. Catch them "in the act" and with a little more of their surroundings, and I think you'll like the results better.

Post it! We like to discuss what makes Street Photography, including what doesn't quite fit. Either way it is always interesting and informative.
