| This is one of Istanbul's sweatshop kids going home on a shuttle boat after a long day's work in a grimy, cramped workplace in Istanbul's old city. Thankfully their numbers are decreasing nowadays. |

merhaba hakki
i read your discussion with isabella with interest. i understand both points (and i have a son myself). on theoretical grounds, i agree with you though hakki. but why do i say 'theoretical' here? well, nothing in your foto, i really mean... nothing tells us the story you mention in your note. the photo is nice, but it does nt tell the story. look at it: the boy's cloths are modern and neat. his face looks rosy and healthy and he really looks proud to have your attention; and... i suspect, he thinks he looks cool with that cigarette. i believe, if i was trying to tell that story i would go for much more grain, stronger contrasts, different expression, possibly... even a different boy... (there must be plenty around judging from what you wrote). so, i disagree with the photo, but my green devil goes for the consideration and the story you are trying to tell.
warm regards,
kristaps
