No es facil

Cuba

"Life is not easy", are words that you hear
quite often from the locals. This poor man
was suffering from catarax, a blindness that
is easily and rather cheaply cured in the
western world. He did not smoke, nor drink.
He was happy with a chat and a hand full of
change that I offered him at the end of quite
a long chat. Life, indeed, "no es facil"

Wonderful portrait with accent on grief in eyes.

yes, life no es facil, but it sure hasn't diminished this gentleman's dignity. Great portrait. I like how his crinkly hair blends seamlessly into the texture on the wall.
