Octogenarian with the cane (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Portrait of an elderly woman living in Cantagalo, favela in Rio de Janeiro. She arrived in the 1940s, at a time when there was still no running water, the alleys were not yet concreted, and there was no elevator either. Her osteoarthritis on her hip keeps her from getting out of the slum. Analog photograph taken with a Rolleiflex camera with natural light.
