friends (July, 2004)

I know what this picture means to me. I'd like to know what it means

to you.

Very good portrati. The surrounding is excellent. I like the tones a lot. Is it a neg or a print scan?

Yours

Thanks for the motivating critiques and ratings so far. This is a scan from a 10x12 RC print.

The girl on the left is the daughter of my host. The first time I stayed at their place was because I got caught by heavy rain on a bike tour. At that time this village saw very few tourists, and I was offered a place to stay by this girl's mother. We made friends and I returned several times, staying at their place. You can see other pictures of this girl in the same folder, and I will upload several more pics related to this family.

The boy on the right is an orphan. He is the son of everybody in the village, and is often invited by this family (and others as well) for a meal or two. He is living with his twenty-year-old cusin, who is trying to give him as much love and care as possible.
