Old friends

This is a gallery depicting people and friends of more than 20 years ago. Some were simple acquaintances of a few days, some other were closer to me. In both cases, however, all these people were willing to share with me the little they had, with generosity. I wonder what happened to them, whether they are still alive or managed to have a better life for themselves and their families. Pictures were originally shot in film or slide. The originals negatives went through sun overexposure and flooding, so when i decided to scan them, the resulting quality is not great, but gives the right feeling of people and places.
