Smells of Coffee
Head of Family
Discontent
During an assignment in Guatemala, my talented photographer friend, Bryan, met a man we affectionately call "The Quiet One." Although I never spoke with him, Brian's photograph captivated me, revealing a face etched with the tales of a rich life.
Originating from a humble village with scarce resources, The Quiet One, like many from his community, found work on nearby coffee plantations. While an outsider might perceive a sense of longing or discontent in such lives, The Quiet One found fulfillment amidst his loved ones and the earth's bounty. In my portrait, I hoped to convey the life challenges he has faced, yet the contentment and acceptance he has found in his journey.
