Aged
He could barely hear me and kept on asking "Now what am I going to do?" I told him, "just look at my camera and then smile for me."
Richard, 92-years old and with Alzheimer's disease, legally blind on the left eye and yet he managed to give me this sweet smile as I take his portrait. It was such a rewarding feeling to capture images such as this.
