My longtime roommate, Edgar, has a great many uncles and the youngest of them, and very near his age, is Roberto. As you can see, Roberto is a very handsome guy, as are most of his brothers; and despite his youth, he is already a grandfather. I shot these photos nine years ago, one night when Roberto was feeling a little melancholy and had been drinking a little. For some unstated reason, after I had taken a few photos of him with his hands behind his head, he offered to remove his shirt and display his magnificent chest, arms, and armpits. He liked the resulting pictures so much he sent copies of them to his wife. She showed them to me when I next visited her in the Yucatan (while Roberto was here in San Francisco.) I'm sure they're the only photos of this kind she's likely to ever have of her handsome husband.
