For years this wonderful man has been a familiar sight, waiting to open the door for concert and theatre goers at the Ordway Theatre in St.Paul. What a pleasure to see his smiling face and welcoming greeting.Click here to view thumbnails for all participants.
A brilliant choice, Kate. And what a kind face he has. I love your interpretation of waiting.

Unusual Theme for this day and handsome portrait of a fine gentleman. I love his old fashioned attire.
ReplyDeleteHe look lets you know you are in for a special night.
ReplyDeleteClassy WAITING theme day photo! I love going to the Ordway and it's a nice surprise when he's there to open the door! Bravo - encore!
ReplyDeleteLove the coat. I imagine the hat would not do well in the wind, however.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful to contemplate or reflect on all the awaitings we have performed over the years and to think which of them gave us the greatest pleasure ?
ReplyDeleteI adore the doorman and the pleasure you have given us in this shot of him.
I think that Nathalie and Olivier have summed him up and the way you have shown him to us.
Looks like another age.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure such a dapper gentleman makes waiting much nicer!
ReplyDeleteit's people like him that brings a smile to people's faces when we visit the theatre. ;-)

ReplyDeleteThat's a great study, with a lot of character.
ReplyDeleteHe's been waiting a long time, eh? Very fine portrait. Maybe all this time he's been waiting for you to take his picture and make him famous around the world?
ReplyDeleteAn elegant chap!
Simply wonderful!
