This shot is of a young woman and her grandfather, taken in 1984 in Montenegro. They lived beneath the plannina [plateau] where her husband was tending sheep on the summer pasture for a week at a time, staying in a mountain hut, high above his family.
He was due back the afternoon that I took this photo, and he was in for a shock. The woman had had her hair cut short [a radical move] whilst her husband was away, and was unsure of his likely reaction - hence the headscarf.
