Photographer’s Note
what i like about this photo is that the family sitting on the left is more liberail, with the man woman and kids in more relaxed clothing and attitude,
but on the right you see the more conservative family with the traditional muslim attire, like the Abbayah (mans gown), hijab (woman whole body cover) and even the teenage girl on right.
the 'left and right' attidue is everywhere in the world. some people are easy going and more people are consumed by their self rightous attidue towards the world ie; they judge others. just like over here in the US how you have an ignorent, rasciest, and self rightous president who claims jesus christ told him to rage the war on terror, i mean how different is he from bin laden when he says that he is doing the prophets work and every muslim should act like him?????
even God himself gives us a choice, to worship him or not, to have relationship with him or not. the sun shines and the rain falls on all of us, with no discrementation, how can human beings like these tell us what is wrong with the world and force their opnion & will on us?

Hello Robert,
Of course your picture is very good. Its meaning and symbolism are really clever and very well seen.
Even if I totaly agree with you, especially on the poor quality of Mr W, I find your words a bit too agressive for me.
I do understand what can drive you but I think an environment like TE is different because you are already talking to sensitive people. So maybe a quietest attitude and a more peaceful explanation can have more impact ?
This is only my own and modest feeling that I wanted to share with you.
Once again, I do agree to what you say, it is only a matter of presenting and expressing it ! and I think your image spoke of itself.
My very best regards. Christian

Hi Robert,
This is a well spotted photo and a clever crop as well. Maybe it could be even better if you would crop the empty bit on the right side so that the empty bit in the middle would really be in the middle and would increase the splitting between thes two families. I've always been fascinated by how different social groups wear different clothes.
Your note is interesting especially after what you wrote in the forum.
Well seen!
Nicolas
