This photograph was the one that most caught my attention. The expression that was captured on the old woman’s face, was this expression of tiredness, exhaustion, worries, humble and almost nostalgic. While the man right by her side, in contrast to her, seems to be a very arrogant, a business man, someone who goes in life with out a care of anyone who surrounds him. Also the atmosphere in which the two figures were captured, makes the suggestion that they are in a public place, there doesn’t seem to be much of a relationship between the two characters, they might even be strangers. The lighting f the scene gives a great mood to the sensation of the image specially with the both very different facial expressions.
