The Framhand

The Framhand · **1 Like**

Hi all,

I took this shot a couple years back when I had just gotten my first DSLR and photography turned more and more into a more serious hobby.
I was traveling the western part of Cuba when this farmhand approached me on the town square of Viñales asking for a lighter. When I told him I didn't have one he asked for 20 cents to buy some matches which I happily gave him since it was such a modest wish.
In return I was allowed to take this picture which is still my favourite portrait of a stranger I ever took.

I hope you guys like it and vote me in for the finals

Have a great weekend everyone!

Not sure of what he thinks of me the observer but he must have a lot of interesting tales to tell, if he ever chose to.

I agree. He definitely looks like he has led an eventful life... and thanks 😀

I like the simplicity of the white cigarette against the age-worn face.
