Photographer’s Note

I posted pictures from this early morning shootout in Harar earlier, but felt like going back to some of my pictures from this very special town...

oh, that early morning african light is just gorgeous...
i love this time of the day when the first signs of ruch appear, when the air is still fresh and dust comes only from the wiped pavements...
these all i find in your image...

Hello Nana. Actually I wanted to leave myself something time with the next attendance of your side. But the today's photo is so convincing that I return nevertheless to it. In order to say it briefly: the photo is wonderful. Light, shade composition, contents of, tendency, - everything fits here perfectly. My acknowledgment for this beautiful photo. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Yes, Nana. I recognised the style and location immediately, as I had seen your other work from this place. This one is marvellous too - the light and long shadows, the dust, the angle of view, and the warm evening colour tones. Just a superb shot of daily life.
Regards,
Andrew

Everything works well here and you get a real feel for the place.I especially like the anonymity of the people with no facial features visible.It really enhances the mood of the early morning and the impending day ahead.

Hello Nana, this is a very classic African scene with sun and dust, but here improved by the street sweepers who are whirling up even more dust, I really like them.

Greetings, Matěj

Hi Nana,

i love this morning light and the overall scene... as in most african countries, you find women sweeping the floor while men walk by or pretend be busy working... spectacular shot!

Really great lighting. The dust really adds to this. Nice to see 'daily life' here. The women are so busy! TFS Another great picture!

Hi Nana,

Shooting into the sun .. into the dust .. and turning them both into very effective and evocative parts of the shot ... very well done .. very thoughtful.

take care,.

Hi Nana,
Again, an incredible shot! You got that beautiful moment of the day when the streets are covered by a golden light that produces long shadows... and the dust floating... The feeling is so natural...Wonderful capture!

Bonsoir Nana,
Très belle photo sur un contre-jour bien maitrisé.
La poussière soulevée par les femmes au second plan apporte de la vie à l'ensemble.
Bravo!

Hiya Nana, wonderful morning light, love the sheen off the road and the reflected light off the dust, wonderful daily life details, composition wise perhaps including more/all of the shadows in the foreground, enchanting capture!
