"My place in the world..." Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi my TE friends! You can see in this picture the same girl as here. She is 16 years old and she has two daughters, as you can sea. She has lived here since she was born, in that small cottage (in the background!) with her mother and her aunt... The cottage is situated in the middle of Zambian bush in very dry area... Their everyday life is very simple but not easy... Their necessities of life are unimaginably little... unimaginably for us, people from Europe...
We met very poor but very smiling and I think happy people in Zambia...It was very educational for us meeting...
Best regards!!

Hi Andrzej, Another lovely photo & a great note telling us a little about the shot, the composition is very good I like the fact you have managed to inclued their cottage in the background, the image is very beautiful as both daughters are totally engrossed in their mother & not the camara, well captured with great light & gorgeous colours, kind regards Wilson.

Witam!
Kolejne egzotyczne zdjêcie z Twojej serii. Bardzo podobaj± mi siê kolory. Podoba mi siê te¿ temat. Pamiêtam, ¿e kiedy by³em na samym po³udniu Egiptu, tu¿ przy granicy ze Sudanem widziwa³em takich egzotycznych ludzi. I w³a¶nie te¿ pomy¶la³em sobie, ¿e to jest ich ¶wiat, ich miejsce na ziemi. Tak odleg³e i inne od mojego miejsca zamieszkania.
Pozdrawiam.
Marek

Afrykanska scenka uliczna ;) Podziwiam intensywne kolory ich ubran i fantazyjne fryzury - pelna egzotyka. Pozdrawiam

Świetna i miła dla oka fotografia:))))
Nietypowy widok jak na nasze realia, bardzo naturalnie.
Dobra kontrola światła.

Egzotyczna porcja rodzinnej scenerii. Dobra kompozycja i ciekawe afrykańskie kolory.
Pozdrawiam.

Hello Andrzej,
Another lovely image from you! It is amazing how little some have yet they are content and always smiling. I love the lady's skirt with its beautiful colours. Including the hut in the background is a really nice touch. A beautiful image, thank you.
cheers,
Debbie

Witaj, Andrzeju.
Nastepne proste a piekne zdjecie z Afryki.
Jak codziennosc moze byc ujmujaca, jesli nie jest zarazona cywilizacyjnymi skutkami ubocznymi...
Zazdroszcze Ci tych podrozy.
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna.

Witaj Andrzeju!
Taa sobie zwykla rodzinka na spacerze... a ile w tym egzotyki...
Poczawszy od stroju poprzez otoczenie tchnienie innego swiata...
Uwielbiam takie klimaty!
Dziêkuje i pozdrawiam serdecznie!

Witaj,
O, to mi sie podoba. Dziewczyna z dziecmi, egzotyczne fryzury i prymitywna wioska. To lubię.

Nice capture...I've seen many deprived folks always happy and content and vice versa, Maybe that's why they say money doesn't bring happiness!
