[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
'The gang of five' is a Japanese manga series in the Netherlands, originally called 'Go! Go! Itsutsugo Land'. It's really a terrible manga for kids with quite limited educational value.

This Angolan gang of five has no clue about manga, nor about education.

Other Angola pictures can be found at:

You promised...


Technical note:
Canon Epoca camera with a 35 - 135 lense. A very basic camera, very little settings, but a remarkably good lense, especially for black and white. An Ilford 400 film was used. The negative has been scanned with a Minolta Dimage Elite III Scanner.


This photograph is part of my theme "Portraits by Dennis".

Hi Dennis, mooie ontroerende foto. Mensen die van techniek houden zouden waarschijnlijk zeggen dat de gezichen van de jongens wat onderbelicht zijn, met het licht van schuin opzij. Volgens mij is het belangrijker dat je iets vastlegt van een korte en onwaarschijnlijke ontmoeting van mensen wat je later een speciale herinnering brengt.

Hey Dennis,

Gangs of Kuimba! I like the way you reach out to people, you photograph them with humanitarian awareness and sharing it here in TE. Well done!

Hello Dennis. Which does one make oneself for conception from Angola? Probably no precise. One knows only that it is a poor and backward country. This is obtained also by your B&W picture of the five children and confirmed by your text. An impressive picture. One can wish only better times to the country. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Very interesting photo. Especially the way each boy has different shadows in different places on them. Sort of "old style" looking. I like the composition also with the placement to the left and inclusion of all the feet.

Zdravo Dennis
