wood 1 Posted May 31, 2006 . . . and I didn't argue. Taken while doing geological fieldwork in The Hadramaut area, an area where the inhabitants aren't used to seeing a white face. Yet the people were very hospitable. Link to comment
stevespencer 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Don't think I would have argued either. I probably would have had camera shake. A very good portrait, though. Link to comment
robidooo 0 Posted May 31, 2006 Did you gave him a print?! And you tell us they weren't hostile? I guess he was your guide or something? Nice portrait, but I would prefer to have more space on the right than on the left. Link to comment

sarahunderhill 1 Posted May 31, 2006 Nice shot, good story! Would like to know more about your trip! I'll be watching for more photos from Yemem. Link to comment
wood 1 Posted May 31, 2006 Stephanie, I did send a print to his village, hoping that the people there would be able to get it to him. As far as my composition goes, I was somewhat nervous while taking this shot and didn't put much thought into the spacing. Link to comment

robidooo 0 Posted June 3, 2006 Absolutely no problems Robert! I'm very used to it. Since little school I'm called Stephanie once in a while. And here on Photo.Net is no exception. I can't count on my two hands how many times it happened! Link to comment
