I don't know anything about the pic or the person, but I do know quite a bit about languages. If you'll point me to the tumblr page with text in a foreign-to-you-language, I may be able to help a bit.

I know all about the WHO of the pic : Callum Keith Rennie. Trying to find out the "why" and "where" of the pic. Here's the tumblr page from which I got it, contains foreign-language stuff that may or may not clarify the pic : http://ajenjo.tumblr.com/post/29772371564/young-callum-keith-rennie-beautiful-portrait

TYK for offering to check it out!

The page text is Spanish, the OP's chosen interface language. The blog title "Cuaderno de Bitacora" (or "Bitácora") translates as "Ship's logbook". The comments are mostly Spanish boilerplate for "luvit!" or "reblogged it".

One links here, with the pic and the text, in English:

I have no idea where/when it's from, but that is indeed very pretty!

There seems to be a general consensus that he's about 19 in this pic, but there are some comments that it's in Edmonton and some comments that it's at the Kensington Market in Toronto, so the mystery still abides.
