i'm so jealous :(
found a second hand xpan in bangkok but it was still too expensive for me :)
given that the market value of my current camera is about 170 dollars :)
look forward to seeing more of your xpan phtographs.

i think this one has the strongest feel out of all your monsoon photographs.. perhaps because of the perspective.
take care :)

p.s. will be in cambodia son in d'agata's group :)

it's a beautiful photograph. kind of reminds me of a monsoon photograph by raghu taken in delhi.

perhaps the strength in the photograph for me lies in the feet and the bit of the letter or whatever else she's reading.
you'e made the photo in way that i'm able to relate to it because of all the "apnapan" that you seemed to have poured into it.
feels very different to your mexico photographs because of the sheer amount of intimacy in it. and that too while maintaining a non intrusive distance with what's happening.
take care :)

hi evren,
how've you been?
this is a beautiful photograph.
however i don't think she's selling flowers..
she seems to be asking for SHANIDAAN (donation to ward off the evil influence of saturn). this is because of the can she seems to be holding in her right hand as you find a lot of people including children doing at many of the road crossings and red lights in delhi on every SHANIVAAR (saturday).
was it a saturday?
i'm curious about this photograph now
hey i've lost all the numbers on my phone as something went wrong with it. so please message me your number and let's catch up sometime.
take care :)

hi radeeh
how are you?
i remember the camels and the lifeguards with the funny conical hats from this beach :)
is this beach the one closer to the lighthouse???
while you've captured one of the typical "landmarks" of puri, i think your photograph would be more effective if there was some context as well..
for example.. say... people.. children.. you find a lot of people eager to take camel rides..
i think that would add a feeling of in the photograph as far as the viewer's perspective is concerned.. because for me it can be a medium for one to relate one's feelings to the feelings in the photograph and therefore forming a sort of a bridge.
sorry about not replying to your discussion and critique.. my internet connection is not the fastest at the moment.. but no hard feelings this side so don't worry :)
take care

this photograph makes me day..

wow..
your photographs seem so different... it's like you're beginning to find your personal voice.. the colours are only one symptom of that.

wonders that marriage does to a photographer :)
i think you're really getting somewhere..
don't stop exploring..
take care :)
