Hi Jumanah,
I find this very interesting, a view so honest, documentary and also artistic. It's a quick look at a life of women in a country we know so little about. Thank you.
Blanka

very unique style you got there. i've always thought of trying this shot, but you did it first :-)

although i would've set the focus on the two women than on the reflection of yourself on the side-mirror.

but still it's a beautiful picture. keep posting!

Hello Jumanah.
Very interesting idea. We see the shot of the side mirror quiote alot, but rarely do we see the self portrait in the mirror. Good tones in the B&W shot. What film were you using?
Happy New Year.
Chris.

totally incognito huh! well actually i like the shot. it has a unique composition. although a bit overexposed but no worries. the reflection of you is very sharp well done. was that a pentax?
