Daughterly Love
by Helen Betts

Ankara, Turkey

Another of my series shot in the old part of Ankara. This is Merve and her mother, who makes crocheted purses and caps for tourists climbing up to the citadel.

Helen: The color in this is perfect and reflective of the generational difference. It also strikes me that, paradoxically, the positions of their legs I would expect to be reversed....the supple folding back of the mother's right leg might befit the daughter, and the slightly stiff leg posture of the daughter I might expect to see on the mother. Clearly her body language is saying "this is my mother!" the mother appears more circumspect, if not cautious. Nice, nice pic and the wal plaster framing works well. John

Beautiful! This is a simple but effective pose and Merve seems proud of showing you her mother.

I am surprised by the apparent generations clash. The daughter looks like any 2005 young girl I know. Her mother seems to come from the past. Very very interesting!
