The final photograph of the first part of this project. I want to use this one because it's makes me feel some kind of hope. I don't even imagine how hard is to live in these conditions, but it is hard enough just to listen their histories.

Oleg was very shy when I talk to him, but that changed when I took him some photographs. He enjoyed that like a child, and made me feel the same. These were the first photos that anyone take of him in decades.

This is one of my favourites photographs. I really enjoy seeing his smile and my reflection in his eyes.

p.s. Next year I'll try to show this work in some public places in my city; I want the people look at the face of those who -the most of us- ignore in the streets. Of those whom nobody defends, and suffer everyday of abuse and negligence from the authorities.

As usual, sorry for my english.

Fotografía final de la primera parte de este proyecto. Quise terminar con esta porque me hace sentir cierta esperanza, como si con su sonrisa me dijera que no todo está perdido; no me imagino lo que es vivir en estas condiciones, pero es bastante duro tan sólo escuchar sus historias.

Oleg fue muy tímido cuando platicaba con él, pero todo cambió cuando le hice las fotos. Disfrutó como un niño, y me hizo sentir lo mismo: hacía décadas que nadie le tomaba una foto.

De todas las fotografías que he hecho, esta es sin duda la que más disfruto ver.

P.D. El año que viene intentaré mostrar este trabajo en diferentes calles de mi ciudad; quiero que la gente que ignora a estas personas en las calles miren claramente los rostros de quienes no tienen cómo defenderse de los abusos y negligencias de parte de las autoridades.

Daily Deviation

Given 2010-12-17
Suggester says, "The whole series is just wonderful, I like the concept very much and especially this portrait shows, how much it can mean to those who are usually considered as "society's misfits", if you give them attention, listen to them and show them sincere interest. I'm still moved by the facial expression of this man - his eyes are speaking volumes! "

a tale told in a moments glance
behind these eyes are many left
captured light and bits of shadow
forever now etched into dreams

Those pics weren't only amazing pieces of art (loved the contrast on those B&W photos) - but you're also a great person for taking such an initiative.
