Mexico: A Life of Value



When asked where he was from, this man replied, "donde la vida no vale nada", which means "the place where life has no value", in reference to a famous song about the city of Guanajuato, his birthplace. You can read every one of his 88 years in the lines of his face.(Caption by Daniel Chapman)

Quite interesting, I thought to myself, "the history in a mans face." Then I read your caption.
