Photographer’s Note
Lapusna, Moldova. Orthodox Easter is long. After main celebrations, week later there is dead ancestors' day, and in every yard there is a lot wine flowing for their souls. With this old man, invited to his house, we passed trough half of the village, avoiding usual paths, from yard to yard, trough back entrances, and everywhere were greeted by friendly families with bottles full of homemade wine.
Lapusna, Mołdawia. Prawosławna wielkanoc ciągnie się i ciągnie, po tygodniu mają poprawiny, dzień za zmarłych kiedy z każdym i w każdej zagrodzie trzeba wypić winko za dusze. Z tym panem do jego domu przeszlismy pół wioski chyba omijając wszelkie drogi - od podwórka do podwórka, przez tylne furtki, a na każdym stała rodzina z plastikową flaszką i szklankami.

wow...for a second I was carried 30 years ago to the village where my father was born. They could be one of my aunts and oncles anytime.

Thick atmosphere emanating from his carefully composed shot...the line between the old fellow and his wife, top right toward lower left. Again very nice shadow work too.
Cool...

Great photo, Swiatek - one can almost feel the freshness of the day in this photo. A very simple & homely, but pleasing image. Well-captured! Regards,
