Powerful piece. I think we humans are conditioned to disregard the elderly in many ways. Having said this many of this generation do seem to lose faith in themselves and life. This woman looks to me to be very humble and of great wisdom.

Your portraits have a spontaneous edge and yet the quality of a studio shot. You have too many good images to just be luck.
