My New Sunglasses

We stayed in this village for a couple of days,the people were so

friendly,especially this dear old grandma,who asked to have her photo

taken with everything she owned,these were her new sunglasses that her

grandson had given her.

Really nice and candid portrait. I like the way she kept the sticker on the glasses, poor people often do that to show something that they consider has great value. What a smile on that face. Regards - michel

She is really happy, beautiful portrait and done.

 

Best regards.

This is a great portrait. Nice lighting and color. The lady looks very happy happy in this picture, good for her. It's good to see people smiling and cheerful. Good job.

great shot Birte. full of joy and happiness

BTW, thanks so much for remembering me. you're right. it's so hard to live here these days. I feel i can't breath anymore. everything's under pressure. a crazy man is arresting and killing people. don't know what will go on. I just hope it finish soon. just hope

Perfect title.

ha-ha... Very nice picture ) Original!

Amazing shot....this old woman...so full of cheer, and happy with the sunglasses her grandson had bought her.....she wears a 'lifetime' on her face.....yet still finds something to smile about...wonderfully candid Birte!

I first saw your photos. After I saw that text in place of his biography. Birte, you, especially in the photos from India, show your look and your soul. It is sad photos, poor people, poverty explicitly. The human being appears in its most fragile, most despoiled, sometimes more agonizing facet.

I fully share your view about the dangers of our time. I also agree that what man is doing does not reveal intelligence, but stupidity. I must say that you can achieve your goal in showing these pictures. They annoy us. I myself do not like to stare a lot. Is anger.

But I wonder if in India we find only misery, ugliness and neglect. Just what this country has? Because many people are limited to reporting this kind of thing when they go there. Would you admit that your looking, more critical and realistic manner, may slip into a simplistic cliche?

 This is not a criticism. It is a question of who admires his work.

The color & tones are brilliant! Great work, tack sharp!
