[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sitting in the shade in the middle of the day, this Dogon man paused to take a short brake. He manually makes ropes from dry, long straws...

From a technical point of view, this picture may possibly be not satisfactory for many (shot in complete shade), but I've decided to post it regardless as it documents human skill that may unfortunately cease to exist in the future :(.

This is a great documentary shot Krzysztof,

will find this too overexposed at the background, but thats not the emphasis in this shot anyway.. and love the pinkish earth colours here..
i respect your work a lot..

Jak zwykle Twoje fotografie mają jakiś przekaz. Z tej też można wiele "przeczytać"

znowu cudna fota - pełna naturalności i będąca źródłem refleksji - jeśli miłbym się czegos czepić - jest ciut nadświetlona (widać z tyłu na górze) - ale 'wchodzi' bardzo - dzięki

Pozdrawiam
Tomek

Za Tomkiem, ciekawe ujęcie człowieka podczas pracy. Może przydałby się flesz, aby doświetlić ciemną twarz w cieniu drzewa.
