Photographer’s Note

The shopkeeper in blue and white is the grandma, she was jubilant that morning and called for my attention and adoration.
(Please, click on the photo to see the LARGE VERSION, the small one does not mean much !)

... As I could not chose between the 3 photos in the centre, each expression of delight a bit different, I decided to place them side by side to make a story (chronological order), adding on the right a photo of the mother with a solemn air and on the left a photo of ladies from the same town...

... as another hommage to the Indian women (and a day too late for the Mother’s day…)

(NB : "In India, there are less than 93 women for every 100 men in the population. The accepted reason for such a disparity is the practice of female infanticide in India, prompted by the existence of a dowry system which requires the family to pay out a great deal of money when a female child is married. For a poor family, the birth of a girl child can signal the beginning of financial ruin and extreme hardship" : indianchild.com).
