They pulled me into the house because I HAD to photograph his mother. They told me she was 125 years old. The son looked about 45 years.
If the son is 45 and the mother is 125, that made her the oldest woman alive and oldest woman to have a child. I was stunned and amazed.
Truth is that I'm not sure it makes sense, but none the less, she is old and has seen a lot in her life. It was truly an honor to photograph her.
Nicaragua is an amazing place, with amazing people. Later that day I played soccer in a mud/cow pie field with the Miskito kids and got laid out several times. I thought for sure I was going to die...especially the next day when it felt like my insides were imploding! (not to be mistaken with exploding...)
