1932vintageabuelo
My educated guess is that this formal portrait of my grandfather was taken in 1932. He would have been eighteen years old and about to leave Puerto Rico for New York. He did not return until decades later when he was a married father of four. I find the youth and beauty in his face simply astonishing.
