indonesia 06-market life Head load and a smile!

You seem to evoke a lot of smiles so you must be doing something right. This one has a particularly warm feeling and a lot of that is surely due to your relationship with the local people as well as to a sure hand in the PP, I think. The colors work together well to create an image that feels both familiar and exotic. It has remarkable presence and focus for such a busy image.

Thank you for the kind observation and your appreciation that this type of photography brings a lot more than just images.Smiles like this were great,but nothing compared to the ones these nice people flashed whenever I could return,find them and hand over a print whenever that was possible.Nowadays with digital,there would be an instantaneous reaction of the type TAKE ME ALSO from the onlookers.......Not sure though about your note on my PP skills which are limited to say the least especially on these scans of old prints.

Merci et meilleures salutations-Laurent
