Old man in Mexico

I was living in a fishermen's village in Mexico when I met this man, he was waiting for his son to pick him up. It was blazing hot and he was just sitting on a bench under the sun waiting. I asked if I could take picture of him and he obviously said yes but first he straighten up on the bench, fixed his collar that was folded inwards and looked dead into the lens. This photo was taken few months before the hurricane Dean in 2007.
