Not sure where I should post this, but here it is.
Old City Cemetery Brownsville TX. I watched him from a distance as he raked dead grass and leaves from two grave sites. He then went to his truck where I engaged him and asked politely if he would tell me his story. He was a soft spoken gentleman of Mexican decent. As he shared his story I was so touched I teared up and my voice quivered as I asked if I could photograph him while he cared for his son and father in laws' grave sites. I'm sending him prints and wanted to share it here.

QuickDraw, Your thoughful images made from good perspectives images do, indeed, convey the stories of the sad concerns of Sr. Gomez at the cemetery.

Family is a huge factor to the Latino people. The ties are much stronger than most any other people. I'm sure that he greatly appreciated the photos. They are excellent with a different perspective
