Grandpa’s Waiting
About the Picture
Sam captured this striking portrait of his grandfather, N. P. Mathew, at his mother’s village in Muvattupuzha, Kerala. Taken during the COVID lockdown, the photo shows his grandfather gazing at the sky to predict the day’s weather as morning light softly illuminated his face. The black-and-white tones enhance the emotion and texture, reflecting Sam’s deep bond with his grandparents and the inspiration he draws from his grandfather, a photographer himself.
