Couple Shots from Vieques



Just developed a few rolls yesterday, heres a couple shots I just scanned to see whats up for the darkroom.

This man I photographed was on our way back from the shoot down the road in an old house. My sister and I passed this man on our way down, he was sitting in his chair on the Malecon, as I have noticed every day. On our way back he stopped us and was saying something in Spanish to us, which we didn't understand at first. Then he pointed to my camera and then to himself. He wanted me to take a picture of him! I was certainly excited to do so, however he was sitting in the shade, which we then had to tell him to stand in the sun! We were pointing and trying to tell him to move out of the shade. Nothing seemed to be translating, until Eve then burst out, " Sol!!!" Thank god one of us remembered Sun in Spanish! He immediately knew what we meant and then got up into the sunlight for his moment in the camera. I thanked him and got a sweet grandfatherly kiss on the cheek and we went on our way.
