One of my favorite photos in Peru...this lady was shuffling along, about an inch or two with each step...held the camera on the ground and shot
Same woman as the last shot; she spoke softly to me and asked if I could get her some bread (glad I know some Spanish). She said she was hungry. I bought her a few and then she sat and ate. That's when I shot this photo.
