Tired
Pingyao, China - September, 2007


I suspect this man is the child's grandfather. He seems weary of the task of caring for the baby.

Amazing shot! This portrait tells a Chinese story. We saw so many grandparents caring for babies throughout China. They raised their kids; now they're raising their kid's kid. They accept this role because that's just the way it is! Although they show great pride and love for the child, the weariness in this man's eyes tells us what a daunting task this is.

I can feel that weariness in the eyes of this man. Still, he is complacent about caring for the child. Expressive shot indeed!
