In the market, a photo from Rajasthan, West

Photographer's Note

Dressed in their traditional turbans, dhotis, curled toed shoes and curled moustaches, these two farmers perhaps discuss the rising prices of the cattle feed which is tied to the back of his bike. Behind them their wives have obviously spotted something on another stall.

Hallo Elaine,
Een heel goede impressie van de markt hier waar meerdere mensen samen waren gekomen en een praatje stonden te maken. De foto laat hun traditionele kleding ook heel mooi zien.

Hi Elain
A great street photo and I just realised is almost an archival one being from 2009. Immaculate B&W with perfect contrast.
cheers

Hello Elaine
A beautiful view of the daily life of these two farmers talking. Good sharpness and exposure. Reading the text, I realized that you have a good knowledge of the environment and life of your subjects, this is good and necessary for a documentary photographer. With respect ...

Hello Elaine,

This is an excellent, market scene, recording the different interaction between the men and the women.
Studying the scene (which is extremely sharp) we are immediately curious about the conversation and wondering what is attracting the women!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Elaine
What a relish for me! Always loved those markets or bazaars or souks with all that stuff, smells, noises! Excellent mono here, so much to observe with lots of interest and characters and
a good tonal range. Above all it tells a story and captured the market atmosphere so well !!
Best regards

Hello Elaine, The exact place is not given here - Rajasthan is quite big. Anyway, a fantastic scene from the market. Often the men in India do not wear traditional clothes anymore, but here they are perfect with turbans, dhoti (but not kurta) and even funny shoes. With black and white, it looks timeless. But a pity we do not see the colours of women's sarees.

I like this composition.
It is interesting to know the clothing of that land.
