Ankara, Turkey

These are more of my ladies from the old part of town. Shooting up there can obviously be a nightmare -- with the deep shadows and brilliant Anatolian sunlight, people where you don't want them, people walking in front of you, kids running around waving their hands in the lens -- but I really like the women's expressions and obvious closeness in this image.

SUPER shot! Looks great in sepia too!

I second Roberta's comments, Helen. This is just a wonderful series! You even got some of their handiwork in the one lady's lap and in the background. Bev

Thank you for the kind words, Roberta. Maybe you should be tempted by the H1! I'm pretty pleased with it this time around, plus it's just so much fun to use and so easy to carry (and no lenses to lug around...). Helen

Helen,
Another fine image. Are you trying to tempt me with the H1? ha ha! I really love the beautiful patterns and combination of layered garments. Excellent clarity of course!
