I love this, with the grainy look. Very vintage appearance, and lovely sepia tones. I think this portrait, if done in tones to look like the old tin types, would be out of this world. Maybe a project you can work on? :) Nice work.

Aren't the grandmothers our links to the eternally warm and safe old times?
Aren't these "Mohicans" carry over to us all the myths and wisdom of the centuries in order for us to carry it on and on through the eternity?
Aren't these people so connected to the Earth (and earth) that it is almost natural to see them as rising from the Earth yet gluing themselves and us to the same mother Earth (earth)?
I perceive the very heavy grain you added to your image as a transformation of the soul of the earth into the soul of this long lived woman.
On the other note since she is from Tunisia (primarily located in the Sahara desert), I would grasp that this grain symbolizes the veering sand storms that accompany these people throughout their lives, frequently full of hardship and struggle.
From my prospective, this is a wonderful piece of photographic art!
My warmest regards and kindest wishes in your artistic endeavors.

Well, in reality this looks very much like the old tin types, but too grainy. Do a search on google or another search engine for Photography tin type, and also try platinum print. You can see the tones the old prints had that to me, gave them their appeal.

Hi Manu; this one I like better than the color version. It's like a fond memory.
