1981 or 82, Nikon camera, Kodachrome. This was taken at the place my friends and I had morning fresh squeezed OJ. The children are the owners. We were making conversation and asked how many children he had. "17" he answered. We shared our amazement. "Sons" he added.Beautiful morning light, a kind embrace, wonderful color. The children have such lovely, dark skin, you can see a purple cast. The little boy was patient and loving with his sister. Yet there is a wistful quality to his face. When he saw me taking the picture, he gave a large grin, but this is the one I prefer, the calm, detached face, looking off camera.
