Mujer Perúana Ancianos (Old Perúvian Woman)

This old woman lived in a small village in Perú called Quispicanchi and spent much of her day on the steps of a historic church near her home, where she sits in this photo. She was also one of the few people in Perú who proudly posed for her portrait without requesting compensation; whereas many others demanded money upfront. We paid her anyway :-)
