the human being.

Before to shot this I've talked a lot with this man.
He remembered his life in his country with his parents and his family. He remembered the poverty and the suffering and a journey to search something to improve his family's condition. He told me that all he needed was another chance to live this world in a different way.. to give back a smile on his sons faces.
I asked him a photo.. and he smiled.
He overruled my money and he said to me that was enough the speach we had.

I wanted this shot disturbing as the indifference of people around him.
As the movement around a motionless condition of poverty.
As a man that fights to preserve his dignity facing an awful situation.
