Photographer’s Note

This photo was taken a few metres away from the preceding one : I liked the colours of the clothes and asked the 2 little girls following me at the time to run in front of the wall ; one could not refrain from looking at me, although I had not asked her to jump...

Not everything is depressing in that area... Children enjoy playing with friends in the streets as anywhere else...

(More infos about that very special place, Sulukule (Wiki) in the note of the preceding photo and I'll tell some personal stories regarding the place in the days to come, with more photos).

where have you been Catherine? I've been on and off TE, but haven't seen any postings from you lately. it seems you are travelling again to capture the joy and happy faces around you. I sooo love this shot mainly due to the girls' poses and the feast of colours behind them. (You could even cut out the sides and keep only the house with the laundry.) Eline saglik arkadasim. )))
sevgiler,
fusun

merhaba catherine,
sulukuleye gitmişsin keşke beni arasaydın çünkü çok yakın oturuyorum oraya.bakıyorumda sen bizden daha çok geziyorsun ve buda fotograflarına çok güzel yansıyor.
özellikle çocuklar ve arka planda rengarenk çamaşırlar nefis görünüyor.maalesef sulukuleyi yeniden düzenleyecekler ve eski hali ortadan kalkacak.bence bu doğal hali çok daha güzel.
selamlar sevgiler
Ali

Salut Cath,
Voila une image bien exposee et dynamique, avoir adopte un point de vue bas est tout a fait approprie pour ne pas ecraser les enfants.
Bises, JY

There is only one way of presenting kids...
It's YOUR way, Cath...

:-)))

It's impossible not to smile gently watching these girls in there...
Their excitement upon seeing you in there can be only compare with my excitement upon seeing your photos again, dear gal...

bonjour Cath
C'est plein de gaité et de dynamisme! J'adore la posture de ces deux gamines, l'une faisant un sprint tandis que l'autre fait du saut...de vraies olympiades ;) des couleurs bien vives et cadrage sympa!
Amitiés
Marilyn

Hello Catherine,
Some of your pictures, and especially your notes, rather scare me. The much nicer it is to see such happiness as here, even in miserable surroundings. Colours and action and fun.
Regards,
Gert

Stepan (27167) 2008-08-25 13:13

Super ambiance, bien sympa, bien légère, bien sucrée, bien girly tout simplement... Les couleurs, dans cet univers un peu passé, sont autant d'espoirs. Bon dynamisme également.
Stéphane
PS : Bon, tu t'en es sorti avec les travelogues. Pas sur d'avoir vraiment compris tes difficultés.

gaby (19793) 2008-08-25 23:47

Bonne journée

Excellente scène, me fait penser à mon enfance en Pologne où les enfants jouaient dehors...
Un très bon moment saisi, la fillette à droite semble suspendue en l'air...
J'aime beaucoup.
Amitiés, Grazyna.

didemay (2401) 2008-09-06 23:02

Hello Cath,
Been away for so long. I do not know which photo should I start? They're all lively.
Beautiful frame. If you avoid the bottom part of the photo, it would be hard to realize that the girl on the right is actually jumping. It is as if she is tied up with a rope to the sky...and standing still. Very nice capture.

Vasa (4798) 2008-09-10 15:57

Joyeuse photo soutenue par les fortes couleurs. Bonne idee d'engager les enfants indisciplinees.

Je remarque tes efforts d'offrir le maximum dans tes notes (ah, si elles etaient en francais...). Je remarque aussi ton troisieme sourire dans l'Intro. Rien ne m'echappe.

En conclusion: elle est tres interessante ta serie de la Turquie et je la suivrais avec plaisir.
