A senegalese man portrait#39

Another portrait from the International Festival in Ferrara. He's the brother of Idy, the street vendor who was killed in Florence a few months ago by a man who allegedly wanted to kill himself but did not find the courage. So he killed the first person who found on his way. However the fact the Idy was African created great turmoil in the Senegalese community and not only because of a suspect of racism. My stranger accepted to be photographed but then someone else called him and he turned around.
A lovely portrait capture. Such a sad story. Everyone has a story.....

Nice portrait. I like the incongruity of the smile for such a sad story.
