Sweet Mamasita ! by

Arequipa, Peru !

She is one of the many old people I have photographed in Arequipa coping the hard reality of poverty and solitude, but I remember her in particular…
She was always so sweet and polite making me always feel a sense of tenderness !

    Oh….sweet mamasita indeed Ale :) Look at her sitting there with her hand out. There is a lot of emotion in this image. At least for me anyway, having seen many like her in poor countries. Beautiful words to go along with this beautiful image :)

  • thanks Shelly.. we have the same feeling about it and so true so many living this hard reality and solitude…
