Bonjour, Catherine.
Incroyable...être si près des gens, chez eux, à l'intérieur, et les photographier dans des moments aussi intimes...La mère, telle une Vierge avec deux enfants...
J'aime bien ta conversion et les tons sépias...
Amicalement, Grazyna.

Salut Cath,
Le petit bonheur au quotidien avec la mimique de plaisir de la maman. La conversion sépia est très efficace. Mais comment fais-tu pour t'introduire ainsi dans toutes ces familles.
Amitiés
Marc

'Nobody does it better'... If i may recall the title of the song...

Incredible 'inner circle' photography.
Every each of them.

Merhaba Catrherine,
Nice shot in sepia colors.
Even many new instruments and vehicles are invented to rock the babies, this is still the easiest way to sleep the babies. Grandmothers still prefer this way in Turkey.
The stove, the kettle on it and the motifs of the carpets are the complementaries of the composition. Nice daily life shot.
Congratulations!

Were they happy because there were a foreing woman with a camera moving around? Are they happy because they have chosen this life after considering some other? Are they happy because they dont know anything else and culture and windows to the outside world are somehow under the control of male and/or tradiction? Your photo and your note makes me ask me some questions that I also asked me at the refugee camp of the Sahara people in Algeria. Ant it´s great a photo could achieve this, to raise questions, because there is such calm in this photo, such a warm... Thanks Cath.

Chere Catherine,,
encore une tres belle photo familiale sur le theme maternite. Tu as fait un effort pour realiser la composition. Le choix de la sepia est aussi interessant, bien qu'au detriment des couleurs du tapis oriental. Un niveau de qualite dont tu m'habitues de trouver dans ta gallerie, chere amie.

Amicalement a toi

Branko

hi Cath

This has to be one of the best title I have ever seen in TE. How often we see and experience the family bond but you have made extensive travel and see many different countries, and this one has its own merit to isolate a part of human kind down to family cell.

I always think mothers are great human sacrifices for the care and love of children. Excellent post which makes me think more.

tfs, bill

p/s yes, I believe a simple camera which as Image Stabiliser will work fine too.

Wonderfully intimate shot. Sepia adds to the feeling of past time. But the thing is time ceased to move here. Just a scene of utmost universality. You may peep into houses all over the world and find scenes like this one with only some details changed :)).
Best wishes T.

bonsoir Catherine
ce qu'il y a de bien avec tes photos,c'est qu'on est plongé au coeur de la vie des gens,c'est extrèmement interessant!J'aime ces moments intimes que tu as capturés,ces petites tranches de vie qui nous montre leur façon de vivre ainsi que l'ambiance du pays!J'aime beaucoup le cadrage de cette photo,qui tout en mettant l'accent sur les personnages,nous montre aussi leur cadre de vie!j'aime la douce expression du visage de la maman,douceur accentuée par les tons sépia!
Je te souhaite une bonne soirée.

Hi Catherine,
A touchiung scene with the mother and her children, and she has such a loving and content look on her face. I like your sepia conversion, but I tried to do a workshop in black and white, my computer skills are not too great so hope it is okay.
Regards
Wanda
