Description

Don José is 99 years old, he is blind and almost deaf. His wife Dońa Jesús, 98 years old, takes care of him, she is a lovely lady who still can read without glasses. They have 12 children and each of them had a least 4 children. They have many grandchildren and great great grandchildren.
He still calls her “amorcito” (Little love), and if you see the additional photo you will know why.

They were happy to pose for me….see additional link.

The picture was taken in San Miguel Tepezontes a little town in El Salvador. We walked through the town and when we came back Don José had removed his shirt …he was silent and did not move. The image was so intense and several pictures were taken.

Very poor light conditions,ISO 1600…Speed 1/160…..F 5.6 …The red item may look very different according to the monitor.

Please see Black and white and Portrait of both of them..

Another Masterpiece:)

Aside from the formidable emotional and human aspects,
this has great technical virtues as well.
I really like how the red towel compliments the image

One of your best images yet, which is saying a lot because all of your images are inspirational and thought provoking.

In years to come I would like to say that I commented on your work and even though my comments weren't of any influence or interest or use...the work I commented on WAS!

Your photography is the best.

It's again an astounding picture, actually both of them.
The thing is, that you put a story of someone's life in a picture. Which makes it even more beautiful.

Beautiful.
