Photographer’s Note

The most beautiful smiles I have ever encountered on our planet are often in places where people go without. Without designer clothing, without expensive electronic equipment, without fast cars and plush pads, a smile is their most precious possession. And their willingness to share such a wonderful gift with anyone they meet has caused me to ponder just who really has the greatest riches on Earth.

Hello Brian,
Your note is as interesting as your photo. It's one of the better note I read on TE. Reading your note while looking at this photo is really very moving. A recall with the essential values of life always makes good.
Your photo is very attractive : good composition, colors and sharpness and very nice complicity between the girls and the photograph.
Congratulations Brian.
Have a good week.

This is a very nice and spontaneous scene.
Also well framed inside the door.

Hello Brian,
sometimes I like photos because the place is beautiful, sometimes because it's good piece of documentary, sometimes it's a well thought abstract that makes me turn head in every possible angle...but sometimes it just makes me smile.

It's contagious. A smile is contagious. Imagine 5 true, genuine smiles...

They all have a different personality and each one of those smiles tell a story. If you look at them, they're all so unique! I like that hand sent your way by the one on the right.

Who's to blame for so much happiness? well it's you Mr. photographer! You made contact with them. probably talked, joked around, showed them your camera and asked for permission. Of course they want their photo taken! At the condition that you show them afterward...

That's the kind of set up where everything is so naturally perfect that you forget how to frame and adjust the exposure for the extra-white parts (skirt, socks and shirt), but you did it marsterfully.

congrats,

Marc
