Ernestina

I have stopped in to photograph Ernestina and members of her family many times; their "front door" is just a coil spring mattress which is a strong indicator of just how poor they are.  In today's visit, I asked her if I could do a photo exhibit of her and her family; we have a follow up visit planned for Saturday.  (I noticed today that she had dyed her hair - a reminder that even the poor want to look good.)
