shinden Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Unlike my first folder on Tibet, Cabo verde has been a 6 year project done on no assigment but for pure pleasure. When I first visited the islands in 1997 I knew I was hooked and destined to return every successive year. It would be hard for me to give reason full reason, but as I am mainly interested in people I found the right kind of them on these desert like islands. I felt I had to learn the Capverdian Creol to move and communicate more freely. As there are more Capverdians in emigration than on the islands I traveled to find them around Boston, in Holland and Belgium,Senegal and Switzerland. And I am still on my way to find out more about them. The address is: http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=334889 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikos Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Very nice. Some of the photos are excellent on their own right, but also as a set they constitute a compelling and inviting profile of the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt_easterwood2 Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 not sure which forum post to respond to! :) ...but, a wonderful collection. I think it's apparent from the photos that this has been an ongoing project, there's a sense of familiarity and intimacy with the subjects. Photography wise, I'm particularly struck by your sense of framing (or cropping if you will), and am curious as to whether this is a "in-camera" impulse for you or rather something you arrive at in the editing. The compositions, especially in images 1750480, 1750776, 1750516, and 1751145, are arresting in how the subjects are sometimes "cut off", which I find very "gutsy" on your part (especially if this is something you decide when editing).
