Juanita
While travelling through the Altiplana of Peru I stopped at a market to buy some fruit and stretch the legs. I grabbed the camera as always. I shot about three people along the way. All I gave some banana’s beforeany calls for un solo un solo – which may not have come, but anyway.
Then, and cliched as it sounds, i was stopped by these eyes. She was sat with her Grandma selling vegetables. In my disjointed Spanish/sign language – Grandma spoke little Spanish also and my Quechuan is and was next to zero – i asked to take a photo.
No exchange of gifts, i offered, they didn’t want anything. A simple gentle hug and i was on my way.
