Ephemeral Visions

Transcending ephemerality through the lens and imagery.

The Old Man and His Magazine

Cuidador de Temixco.

Just got back from work a moment ago and it is 01:24 hrs. Got some stuff I shot this weekend but with no time to either look at them or see what I like, I decided to post this image taken back in 2008. The gentleman in this image was sitting contemplating a magazine when I saw him one Sunday in rural Mexico. He is in charge of maintaining the area where we have our weekend home –which I have been unable to get to for about a year now. He was relaxingin his front yard when I asked if I could take some photos of him while he, my mother-in-law, and I chatted away about the area and his past.

    Friend, it has been a while…need to see what you've been up to…

    Thanks for the kind words. Folk from the rural parts are also more open to being photographed and much less paranoid. A pleasure to talk with this man and I look forward to getting a print to him soon. Cheers!

    Thank you, Jonas. Easier to photograph people when they are willing and not running in some direction or hiding behind a hand. Cheers!
