ReplyDeleteDee..
पहली दो तस्वीरों में निराशा है तो तिसरी वाली मुस्कुराती हुई है. सुन्दर...
ReplyDeleteदूसरी में कुछ आशा सी दिख रही है मुझे.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are asking something... some sadness or desperation...or is there a hope in their eyes ? Or are they asking for a help ?
ReplyDeleteTouching photos.
May be we see what we expect to see, shaped by our own ideas of who they are and what their lives are? :)
ReplyDeleteIn the popular narrative, shaped by a world view of the ex-colonial powers, africans are usually seen as poor and desperate, needing help.
May be they are just asking, who are you? From where have you come?
A mystery indeed!
ReplyDeleteFortunately! :)
DeleteImagine people knowing what you are thinking from your eyes. It will be terrible!
Faces.
ReplyDeleteLove this set of pictures too.
Thanks D.Nambiar.
DeleteI like the colours of these images, but being a doctor, when I look at these images, my first thought is the boy has a stye in his left eye! :)
Gosh! yes he does have stye. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned that, doc.
DeletePic 1: Who is this guy and is he that jobless?
ReplyDeletePic 2: It pains, can you help?
Pic 3: Is'nt he really cool?
Thanks Leo, they are great captions for these images. Though in the last one, I feel that she was aware that she was looking good with her makeup and all, so I think her thought was "Am I not really cool?" :)
DeleteI love your third picture. Wish she was alone in the frame. The persons in other two photos are perplexed and inquisitive but in third one she's welcoming and presentable. Those lips are awesome.
