Graciela

Cuba

This is Graciela Gonzales, an 82 year old lady
who makes a living by smoking cigars on her
porch and posing for passing tourists. I could
not resist her the first time I saw her and
ended up chatting to her. I returned a fair few
times and she revealed more about herself than
I could have imagined. The full story can be found
in my journal. That is... if you are interested.

To meet this character is a great luck for photographer. You perfectly used an opportunity and very successful photo is a result. I think this is one of those cases, when colors are needed...
So, those cigars are not that unhealthy?
