I wanted to write about different things. Something really positive. Something that seems positive. Something that's so debonair. The last moment I've changed my mind. This has been the biggest wish of mine lately. I want to write about old people around.

Almost everyone is afraid, or doesn't want to think about future when we become old. People are obsessed with youth and everything that is concerned with this non-permanent state of our minds and physical bodies. Well, the post is going to be extremely positive. Believe me!
I should confess that I wasn't very close with my grandmother. Well, I can't say that she became my best friend but I see that she is an interesting lady. She had difficult life but hasn't lost the ability to feel the essence of life. They all are very positive.
It was my hometask to make a portrait. I wanted to make a perfect portrait of an older person. I don't know these people, I only asked for their permission to take photos of them.
This lady has a wonderful sense of humor and amazing grandchildren. I don't know much about her. People in the big cities aren't very open.
Another lady was very suspicious and very confused. She wanted to look really nice in photo. So she did! She tried to smile and she did it in the best way.
In the village people are more sociable but all the ladies mourned about their clothing. Remember I didn't know them and they all were very busy. Really busy. I was so thankful that they didn't refuse to pose for me.
They are happy. They appreciate what they have (they don't have that much. Only the most necessary stuff for living). They know what colour the sky is, they feel the weather and the nature.
This gentleman was a mullah. Although I avoid people that have "religious jobs" this man was an absolute wisdom. He spoke about the other (unknown for me) side of the religion and wasn't persistent.
These photos don't need any photoshop. These people are beautiful inside and out. They are happy here and now. They value their past but continue living in the present.
Have a beautiful week!
