At the time of this photograph Graciano was 80 years old, and he cuts 1500 henequen leaves per day - in temperatures that reach into triple-digits. I had him pause, for no more than thirty seconds, so that I could make this portrait of him. He is out in the fields to work, and any stoppage - other than for a drink of water, would be slacking on the job. He is working in a henequen field on the outskirts of Telchac Pueblo, in Yucatan, Mexico. Already the skies are nearly clear, and the sun’s rays are already beginning to warm the air.
