Photographer’s Note

Christiana is pressing the freshly made paper sheet while teacher Kenze is watching attentively. First from the left, colleague Boderom Leon is always ready, even for a picture!
They were excellent students and they're remarkable paper makers.

Souvenir of them is always in my mind, and forever.

Hi Yves!
Very interesting shot. I like the strong light that comes from the right side on the figures' faces.
The blurred movement of the pressing became pretty good too, it emphasize the dinamic act of the scene.

Pini.

Allo Yves,
La fabrication du papier fait main est tout un art. S'agit-il d'une école, d'une fabrique artisanale? J'aime bien les deux hommes qui semblent en train d'apprendre la technique du séchage au fer à repasser. Celui de gauche te lance tout un regard! J'aime également ton traitement qui fait un peu vieillot. 1/20 de seconde, à mains levées? Tu as la main solide toi! Bravo et merci pour cette photo. En passant, une très belle gallerie!
Claire
