By all appearances this old man (perhaps not as old as he looks) has end-stage liver disease, maybe from viral hepatitis, alcohol, or (most likely) both. In the US he's not eligible for welfare and can't afford insurance. It is unlikely that he is employable. The road ahead is likely a short one. Still, those eyes look like they have travelled far and seen much, perhaps too much, already.
This is based on a stunning photo by Leroy Allen Skalstad which I downloaded from from Stockvault under a license that specifies I cannot transfer the license or use the image in a commercial project. The findings of liver disease are simulated and the little story is made up
