I can tell several stories from this picture. Do you have a story to tell? The washing, the standpipe and the sluice are all much less luch than many of our pictures of India(?)

Mike,

What did you mean by "are all much less luch than many of our pictures of India(?)"?

Fahim,

This is written as "Just for fun". That in itself is poetic. I find this moving. If I'm allowed to break your instruction, may I suggest that you try a triptych with wide angle, crop and then her face or hands. There's humanity, nobility and tragedy in your picture. Not fun!

Forgive the trespass!

Asher, Nothing to forgive. You are right. I was careless and negligent in my choice of a category.

Please choose an appropriate category and repost. I do hope my posted photos on such related topics reflect my feelings on and of such issues.

Mike, the story is in the picture. I have nothing more to add. I believe, contrary to some others, that a picture sometimes can and does tell a story. No multiple frames needed.

Fahim,

will these works become a book? By that I mean all the images I have seen work together. On their own they are to me, beautiful, stark, they describe what in the west is seen as banal - washing, cleaning, praying, travel - moments that we all (may) experience but that are set apart not by the poverty of the subjects or there difference from me? us? but our similarities. Together.. phh

thanks for sharing..

Hey Mark, thanks for stopping by pal.

I have had a few coffee table books printed, but not these. I do not think I shall either. I do agree with you on them as a set.

Regards.

Fahim, you excel in your ability to capture the dignity and pathos of being human simultaneously.

 

[Jean Henderson]

Fahim,

All of these images move me greatly, but the first and third are my favorites. The first because of its quiet elemental humanity in remarkable beauty and the third because of the color and composition which adds so much beauty to the difficulty of the woman's mundane task.
