Elegance...

...mixed with some eccentricity fortunately never looses its grip.
I attended a splendid wedding ceremony of the son of dear friends of mine in England last weekend and wore the same ceremonial suit as this gentleman.

Worcestershire. How small the world. I spent my childhood in this area. Elegant and eccentric, typically English and marvellous.

What a fine study in B&W. I, too, would love to see a photo of you in your finery.

Diederick Wijmans said...

Thank you, V!!

Thank you too, Dina! When I will receive the official photos made by the photographer, I promise that I will send you a photo of my wife and myself in our ceremonial wear.

Merçì, Olivier!!

A beautiful area indeed, Babooshka!!

As I promised to Dina, I have to wait if the official photographer took a photo of my wife and myself.

What an interesting photo! The two pictured are such characters in the way they are dressed, their posture, and in their facial expressions. I want to know what they were thinking at the exact moment you snapped this shot. I love it! You are very talented!

I love the expressions on their faces. They have an air of elegance, but their faces somehow dissolve away any eccentricity. Thank you for sharing!
