Photographer’s Note

On the way to the town of Gjilan/Gnjilane in Kosovo/Kosova our NTV (Non Tactical Vehicle) had stopped in traffic; and that is when I found this op-tune time to snap this family photo out it front what seems to be an Ice Cream Shop :) If anyone can tell me what type of shop this says, I would appreciate it.

Hi, Michael,
what a beautiful and touching shot. The color and detail is wonderful, but the scene itself is what is just perfect. The love and warmth just glows from it. Ever so nicely captured. Warm regards,
Shelly

Michael,

Nice, you captured a warm family street scene.
The mans legs are cut off, and the lines at right side are not vertical, but I guess you did not have much time to frame this shot?

I found some info about Burek here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burek

"Börek are filled savory pastries popular throughout the former Ottoman Empire. They are made of a thin flaky dough known as phyllo or yufka, and are filled with salty cheese (often feta), minced meat, potatoes or other vegetables. Borek may be prepared in a large pan and cut into portions after baking, or as individual pastries. The top of the borek is often sprinkled with sesame seeds."

hi Michael,

I love the color here .. it all really contrasts well from their skin tones .. The expressions say a great deal and interact wonderfully .. I love the centering of it as well .. it seems to balance well with the environment around it. Very nice.

take care,

John
