[Mansi]

yay to the new gallery :hugs:

i was looking thru my folders to find stuff that i could delete.. my old computers just gone for a six.. so anyway i came across this...
what do you guys think? i dont know if this would count as photojourno..

shot this a couple of months back on a hot hot hot summer afteroon.. maybe like 40C... found a bunch of lil kids playing outside in the heat... they didnt have a roof over their head... they probably never had enough to eat... but they knew how to make the most of it...

It's more than suitable Mansi, it's superb! You have the remarkable ability to take a single photo and have it convey such emotion. That's a real talent.

Mansi, Your street work is some of the best I have ever seen if not the best! It is my belief that one day your photos will be seen throughout the world. I think we are very lucky to have you here on this forum. I am always touched by your photos not only does my brain appreciate them but my soul loves them and that what makes great photos. I always look forward to viewing your posts. This is another great shot and as Jon has stated those eyes and that expression is priceless. Great work and don’t you ever take your finger off of that camera trigger!

I don't know how I missed this thread, sorry. But this photo talks to me. His eyes with there deep dark shadows tell us of his hunger. The person behind him is dressed in the garments of simple means, and there hand at his shoulder tells us of a long hard life. His small delicate fingers seem to be searching, as it seems he must do often. Mansi, this is a very, very powerful image, thank you for sharing.

[Mansi]

thanks so much both of you :)

hey mansi :)
nice to see your work.
its a good photo, would love to see more from the same.
and for some reason, i see joy in this photo, maybe because she was playing.
also, she looks a little bit like my cousin when she was much younger!

Hi Mansi,

what do you guys think? i dont know if this would count as photojourno..
Not sure about photojournalism, but it surely counts as an amazing portrait. And yes, it certainly is a suitable addition.

Cheers.
