I photographed this lady as we sat in her lemon groves as she quietly worked away in a once busy cafe in the hills.  It was only when I went to show her the photo on the back of the camera that I realised she was nearly totally blind.  I had watched her for several minutes working with knife and fingers to shell the peas and would have never known.
