I met Gilles while in Nicaragua. I went to talk to him because I thought this could make a cool picture. An old man sits on the beach and is looking at the setting sun.

Gilles spend all his winter in Nicaragua. Most of the summer too he is telling me. Every night, he is coming here to look at the sunset. Today he had the book Mafia Inc. with him. This book was written by Andre Cedilot and Andre Noel. When asked if I could take pictures of him looking at the sunset he immediately responds positively. He was happy to be the potential subject of my pictures and this, even if we would not recognized him.

I did explain to him that my intention was to show the man looking at the sunset and in order to do so we would see him from behind.

I remember clearly talking to him, his facial expression and his kindness toward me, a perfect stranger. I felt some sadness in him, like if somebody important was part of his life before and now gone forever. We did not talk about that.

I have agreed however to send him a copy of the picture by email which I did. I did not receive an answer following my email with this picture.

I am so happy that contrary to the old Lady in Granada, in my previous post, I took the time to talk to Gilles. I don’t have any regret in this case.
