The Framhand
Posted By: bultibus, 12-03-2016, 02:01 PM

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 Viņales 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!

A good portrait of a handsome old man. Well worth the cost of matches!

With kind regards,

I completely agree. An interaction I will remember for a long time especially with my very fragmented (non-existent) Spanish...

And thanks...
