People: Honorable Mention 2017 (professional)
Leaving behind by Marten van Dijken (Spain)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I took this photo a few years ago in Stresa, Lago Maggiore, Italy. I was walking around on the boulevard of the lake when it started raining. I suddenly saw this old man walk by smoking his pipe and only got a few seconds to take the photo as he quickly walked by. I wanted to show the emptiness that he left behind him. We move so fast and don´t usually look behind us to see what´s happening around us.
