Her kitchen Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

She said this was her kitchen.
I asked her what if it started raining, she said she simply could go inside the house. Well, that what I understood but how she could cook inside the house burning the charcoal. She didn't show me how anyway.

This was also taken with the old Indonesian camera. So the colours are weird but I just wanted to introduce different life of this world and that is what TE for, at least to me.

Lauryn, as you said, the colors are a little flat and the depth a too shallow, but I like the expression you caught on her face and that you're showing something not seen often in photos. I do think it would be even better if you cropped off the majority of the large tub on the left, so to move her out of the center of the picture and bring more focus to her field of view - her kitchen.

a simple kitchen in the fresh air, what more can you ask for ?
I like all the green surrounding her, and her colorful clothes.

Interesting picture from Tanzania.
You captured well her in the kitchen surrounded by green, using fill-flash.

Good document but the colors (especially the green) are off and the picture lacks sharpness. I don't like the greenish/blueish tint.
Woman's smile is very nice and inviting.
regards,

well at least it won't smell bad in her kitchen , thanks to the wind outside. it's a nice place for cooking, with green all around. she has a beautiful smile and great colorful clothes.
nice framing; too bad for the quality.
