[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It was a very, very hot weather,even touareg driver was taking a rest; I decided to climb a volcanic stones hill (you can see in the workshop the kind of landscape I could see from the top).
After a moment I heared some talking an d laughing somewhere in this place. I climb down the hill and finally found 3 young women who where in the shade of a tree.
One of them was building a strage stick, yiu will see her tomorrow, this one,after the moment spendt with them, climbed up in the rocks to make some cattle come back (some of theese animals went away ).And, while climbing she began to sing an ancestal a capella song; the beauty of this song was fascinating, I really feeled this moment like unbelievable. In this moment, reading this note, I hear this song again, an unique moment.
I suddenly think to catch tgis song with my camera( I have 60 seconds for sounds).What a pity! battery empty, just at this moment, incredible!

Hi Joël,
Nous sommes presques voisins ce matin dans la gallerie - La fille était peut être une griotte (celle qui annonce les bonnes nouvelles ou chante les louanges de chacun) - Ton portrait est très réussi, visage bien balancé mais arrière plan peut être un petit peu brulé - remarque que ça n'enlève rien à la qualité de l'image et que l'équilibre est très difficile dans ces pays de forte luminosité -
Merci pour le paysage en WS qui situe remarquablement les choses -
Bonne journée - Gaby

Very nice portrait, very expressive face. Lovely details and nice colours.
