[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A photographer's studio in Ouagadougou. I spent a few weeks in this pleasant city during the winter of 1982 and was fascinated by the many nicely decorated shop fronts. Even customers who couldn't read wouldn't be in doubt what services were available.
This picture is appropriately scanned from a Kodachrome slide.

Hi, Gert.
Absolutely magic atmosphere.
Beautiful place and beautiful shop.
Best regards. Grazyna.

Hi Gert,
Pleasant daily life shot. Like all over the world photoshop presents results on the wall to attract customers. Funny thing is that the upper body of the photographer is covered by that board. I have some photos of small businesses in Namibia, but I afraid I will not be able to produce such good scans.

Hej Gert,
A very good title to this photo but which version is it? It looks like you have been cropping a lot on the top and the bottom and I think you have been quite successful in this case. Good colours and interesting note.
Hälsningar

hej Gert,
its just a wonderful photo very good format, kind of cineastic, wonderful slightly naive filled of warm humor, very cleverly composed with the same faded orange that goes through from the door sign to mans T-shirt. I like it a lot definitely a favorite with only one small small minus in the bike that disturbs a little.
Hej & Hå Anders

a nice and simple composition;welle seen.

hi gert,
good scene you captured...perhaps few steps backwards would result in placing the boy in one of the golden points of the image so that the composition wouldnt be so tight...anyway - well done...
best wishes, j.

Another 'oldie' Gert that is most interesting to study. In this one I appriciate the strong crop keeping focus on the essential details. Impressive quality after the long time gone and by being scanned.

Hi Gert!
Very nice and interesting old photo. I like the composition with those paintings on the wall, the photos, the lonely man and even the entrance of the studio. Very well seen and captured.

Hello Gert,
A very interesting facade of the photoshop in the impressive warm light of late afternoon.
I have heard that even a tourist needs a permission of the police for taking photo, was that a fact?
Have a nice day, Hisashi
