Widow at Window; Witness

Photo taken in Kastoria, Northern Greece, 1974; poem written 34 years later--even if I hadn't taken the photograph, the image of this old woman looking wistfully out her window down at the foot traffic passing below her window would have remained indelibly in my memory.

  2. a,

    Thanks for the link--fantastic image--makes me wish I'd had black-and-white film in my camera way back then.
