Hej Gert,
En helt oemotståndlig bild! Hennes ställning ger bra balans på hela bilden och han i bakgrunden bidrar också, på sitt sätt.
Hälsningar från Cucuron

hi Gert
again, you know i really enjoy these photos of yours.

Funny that you mentioned the boy in the bg, because he seems so interested into whats going on - and i think you're right that he wants to be apart of the action :)

funny too that almost everything in the scene is yellow or beige, from the bread, to the clothes, to the architecture to the sandstone.

cool post for TE
cheers

Hi Gert,
Great portrait of this girl looking towards the camera in a very intruiging way. The boy could also be her brother and he don't like his sister being photographed.
regards, Gerrit

Such great and evocative detail here, Gert, from the looks on both of their faces to the worn clothing and shoes. The framing and DOF are both perfect, creating a clear path in the shot, and the color certainly gives it an 'old photo' feel. Beautiful moment captured... just imagine, these two are probably in their late forties or early fifties by now!

Hello Gert,

Another fine testament to the longevity of Kodachrome slide film but an even greater testament to the skill of the young photographer - you have obviously taken care to use a wide aperture in this case to isolate your subject perfectly against a finely out of focus background.

As such, this little girl with her "net" bag full of loaves is perefctly represented in this picture, standing out proudly against the distant view - perhaps of some building process or a mason's yard - and taking pride of place before the boy who appears a little disgruntled and to be hurrying to get himself in the photograph. Curiously, it looks as though his mother has made his shirt from the same cloth as his sister's dress.

Beautiful colours, perfect exposure (Kodachrome, I seem to recall, had an exposure latitude of barely a stop in either direction) and excellent details and sharpness.

Excellent!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hi Gert
Imaginative and enjoyable shot! The facial features and the eyes are especially captivating as this eye-level shot really makes you love all her priceless expressions - the photogenic 'look' of the innocence and the amounts of delicious breads, a proud mother by now. Also a nice glimpse of the background characterised by the crumbled dusty street of real situation then, depicting the everyday lives of the ordinary people, an interesting facet of this exotic land. Your pp treatment and quality is fine, this is a marvellous capture of a quite an intelligent face. Thank for sharing.
Warm regards

Perhaps the warmth and the sharpness of the photograph can only be captured on a slide !! The Theme - did you have such a name for the picture in 1974 ? Today - the theme is striking and strong. The girl stands (with perhaps a shade of cynicism) with the bread and behind her are broken buildings ...ruins.. The road is dusty with the gravels and stones of destruction.
There is a young man in the background and his moods are quite apparent.
Bringing the bread home is hard work - even more so now than it was about 40 years ago.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Gert,
like in one of your previous pictures, the unexpected guest star -in the background this time- enriches the composition and the story and becomes an attractive point of interest. He makes the composition more balanced, enhances our perception of depth and offers a sense of movement. Not that the little girl isn't enough. Her portrait in her every day environment while running a usual errand is wonderful, vivid and intriguing. Her direct, deep and bold glance is captivating, her elegant posture makes a great contrast with that of the boy but also invites him in the composition. The bold lighting and the uniformity of bright tones make a very strong visual impact and a long lasting impression. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Hi Gert,

Classic daily life image, I was probably younger than her in 1974, or around the same age. To think she is now about 45 year old. Wonder what her life is like now.

Good scan and nice color and tone, but not overly saturated.

Hi Gert

Another gem of a portrait from your treasure chest.The girl may be old now but still if she gets to see her snap today she'd still blush.Fascinating composition with great exposure, splendid light and wonderful warm colors.TFS.

Keep sharing and exchanging views.
Best wishes and warm regards

Hi Gert,
I remember now this type of bags: we have used them in Poland in the past as well.
Very attractive portrait with an interesting background.
Very well done,
M

Hello, Gert,
This is an another interesting short story from your rich journalist life. Good register from the past of Turkey. I think, you could make an exhibition of your archive photos there. Just a business idea.
Best wishes,
Serghei

Hej Gert,
Fine scan from such a old slide. Seems Kodachrome 64 never goes out of time. It was my favourite slide film too and I still remember how exited I was to find the yellow bags returning by mail after a week or so.
Unbelievable today - to see the results from a journey maybe weeks after you took the shot! TFS.
Have a nice evening,
Thomas

Hello Gert,
Even if this picture has been taken already 40 years ago, its visual impact has not lost an ounce and your shot still speaks to the beholder. Somehow an interesting little girl with a lot of expression. This picture reminded me my youth, where I had to buy bread too, mostly after school.
Kind regards
Anne
