One Must Work Photo

Photographer’s Note

Sometimes a look can tell a story. The stickgirl with the baskets is passed by the two girls. They are deep in conversation as daily life shows in the eyes of the one being passed. Another day in China. Life outside the big city. Life in Lijiang - Western China.

Hello, David,
Excellent work, good note! I never been in this part of China. That is very different country, rich and poor everywhere. I like your work. TFS!

Hello David,
this is an excellent shot!! The girl's facial expression was captured simply perfectly - what a gamma of emotions and unexpressed thoughts! Of course we can't know what exactly she is thinking about, but nevertheless.....! Still, I guess it is obvious.
I have always admired your ability to capture such wonderful mini-stories :)
Kind regards,
Elena
