Ruby

This is Ruby. As southern as one gets. I used to help her in the tobacco fields. As she would say "backer fields" I visited the town of Conway (outskirts) where I used to live. Nothing was the same, accept for this special lady. The house was untouched and I felt at home. It was like going back in time. What a rush. She still tends to her gardening and chickens, just like I always remembered.

Any comments or critiques welcomed. Thank you.

very nice portrait!

Great b&w portrait of a strong woman, with nice tones and light. Best regards

Very well done with great contrast.
