Charlie Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

In the country the people greets you from far away, ask you kindly if anything could be done and is voluntary for a photo, with a modest condition that the photo should be pretty. So, a man put one leg ahead, a hand on the hip. Smile is large. In Belgrade, usually, people turns the head for avoid the radiation of camera, even with the open discontent. This is only one reason why I long for the country when I am at home.

***

Dans la campagne on vous dit bonjour du loin, on vous demande si jamais on pourrait faire quelque chose pour vous et sont volontiers pour une photo. Pourvu'que la photo soit belle. Pour poser, ils mettent une jambe un peu en avant, une main sur la hanche, s'ils ne portent rien. Et, le sourire large. A Belgrade, en general, on tourne la tete pour eviter la radiation de l'appareil photo, jusqu'au mecontentment ouvert. C'est seulement une des raisons pourquoi je souffre de la campagne quand je suis chez moi.

***

U selu vam još izdaleka požele dobar dan, priupitaju da li štogod mogu pomoći, rado se slikaju i požele da to bude lepo. Pritom ispruže jednu nogu napred, podboče se, ako već nemaju teret u ruci, i osmeh. U Beogradu, mahom okreću glavu na drugu stranu da izbegnu zračenje iz fotoaparata, pa sve do glasnog negodovanja. To je samo jedan od razloga zašto patim za selom kada sam kod kuće.

Bonsoir Branko,
Cet homme qui pose fièrement a sans doute vécu beaucoup d'évènements heureux et pénibles dans sa vie... J'aime comment le petit chien quit son maitre partout, même pour la photo.
Bonne soirée,
Paul

Bonsoir Branko!
Un portrait tout spécial - empathique et d'une manière ou d'une autre affectueux. Un homme aimable avec un son ami aimable - je pense devant un photographe aimable ;-) Une photo qui fait le contemplateur sourire...
Mes amitiés de l'Allemagne gris, frois et pluvieux! ;-(

One of my favorite shots of yours, Branko...
Perfect lighting, lovely clear color and sharp detail. I love the small road that curves into the shot and the gentle friendly smile of your subject with his small companion. These are your very best kind of shots. You have such a connection with people. Wonderful! Many thanks and warmest wishes. in great friendship,
Shelly

Hi Branko,
This man certainly enjoys being a model for your picture and I believe the dog enjoys the situation too. It seems to be wagging its tail... A very interesting picture of daily life, far away from here!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Ciao Branko amico mio,
sempre particolari le tue foto, dove metti in evidenza vita quotidiana, a volte dura e difficile, a volte piacevole.
Anche il cane è un soggetto che rientra spesso nelle tue foto, dove mostri un grande amore per gli animali.

TFS!
Francesco

paololg (14573) 2009-11-02 13:52

Ciao fratello,
what a beautiful photo! It seems a photo of the past times, when the people of country placed proud for a photo. Surely the country, in comparison to the city, it gives truer and sincere photographic occasions, maybe more human, but also the city, with its contradictions, is part of our modern life. It's correct to also photograph that. Excellent image, done with your marvelous style. Bravo!
Ciao, have a good night!
Paolo

Hi Branko,

Regards,
Lucas

Hello Branko, Yes, this fellow Charlie, looks like someone who is at peace with the world in his local domain. A rather nondescript character. who probably walks this path or road daily with his dog. People shots like this are rare today. There always seems to be the urge to find someone or something sensational, whereas this is a very realaxing people picture. Well Done. Regards, Roger

Dobro jutro, kod nas po malo pada sneg.
Cica sta to imas na ledjima u dzaku, prava slika jednog coveka sa sela. Ljubopiljiv i hoce da pomogne. Pravi trenutak snimka, mesto i boje.
Pozdrav majstore od Beograda, Paja.

Bonjour Branko,

Ici, même le chien a le sourire !!! Tu as réalisé un portrait bien sympathique de cet homme qui paraît jovial et de son fidèle compagnon. Belle qualité d'image notamment dans les lumières, merci Branko.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne journée,

Jean-Charles

Dashab (1368) 2009-11-03 5:10

Hello Branko,
Nice "double" portrait - even the dog has assumed the proper posture and gave you a smile! I think the situation is the same the world over: people in cities are usually stressed and grumpy and in the countryside more relaxed and friendlier. Greetings from Prague, Dasha

jafadabret (40717) 2009-11-03 23:55

Bonjour Branko.
J'aime cette pose de cet homme et de son chien. Il y a des endroits mais c'est plus à la campagne où le photographe n'est pas un intrus mais un ami. Belle lumière pour ce portrait !
Amitiés
Jacques

Bonjour Branko,
J'aime bien ce portrait de Charlie et son chien. Ici, à Rennes aussi c'est la même chose, les gens ne veulent pas être photographiés. Par contre, c'est plus facile dans les campagnes.
Merci pour ce partage.
Amitiés.

rikko77 (6776) 2009-11-06 3:02

Hi Branko
another great portrait from Serbia. A simple daily life shot, a great picture that shows us life in this village in the countryside. It tells many, many things about this friendship between the man and his dog. Once again, great Branko!
Ciao
Rikk
