[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Una dona espera asseguda davant de la seva cabaneta, al mitj de l'esplanada de Memphis.

A woman is waiting in her house I don't know what. She did not have tourist gifts, fruit, she had nothing to sell, just wait.

Of course, with a child on her lap perhaps she is simply being a good mother. Yet the conditions of her life with a home made of reeds constructed at the edge of a litter strewn field is depressing to say the least. I'm reminded of your wonderful images from South America Jordi, though this is much more grim to my eye. For that reason I believe this image would work better in black and white than color. I did a workshop to explore that possibility. See what you think. You seem to have an eye sensitive to human suffering. That is surely a gift to us all.

Hola Jordi
Fantasticos los elementos de esta foto. Me gusta mucho la dama sentada contra las palmeras y edificios de tras. QUizas un poquito mas cerca y en vertical seria aun mejor.
Saludos
Daniel
