The Patriarch
(June 22) I'm slowly scanning/digitizing some of the photographs from when I lived in Mexico. This was taken the summer of 1988 or the winter of 1989 with a point and shoot Olympus camera that survived many adventures. It is of Don Augustín, who lived in this area of northern Mexico all his life. He was 10 when Pancho Villa's troops came through the hacienda on their way to take Torreón and Gómez Palacio. His mother hid him under the bed so that the Villistas wouldn't take him with them. I learned a lot of the region's history from this man, but a lot was lost as neither I nor his grandsons always understood him.

on July 3, 2008Nice shot and very interesting story. I will be looking forward to more of your scans. Almost all of my B&W negs from the 80's are scanned, but they are in pretty bad shape. I need to start working on them a little at a time.
