Photographer’s Note

Nous sommes toujours dans la cour de l'"hospitalito".Cette fillette profite d'une belle pluie tropicale pour prendre une douche,compte tenu de l'abscence d'eau courante.
Pour apprécier quelque chose,il suffit de ne pas l' avoir.

Hello Patrick,

What you can pay for her position? This is pure. Great scene with the girls at next door. Look at their poses too. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Parbo

the rain, the girl standing naked with a pot belly, good stuff, but the girls in the background, looking disapprovingly or with scepticism at the photographer taking this picture make it fantastic. Great stuff, jez

Hello Patrick,
quand il pleut, je ne suis jamais motivé pour les photos.
De toute évidence j'ai tord, ça donne une exellente ambiance ici.
Belle scène, j'aime bien aussi le petit groupe dans le fond.
A+

Very sad, a picture of poverty, but very well done, Patrick. The basic building, barefoot children just standing and watching in the doorway...signs that these children are not leading the kind of lives we imagine children should have. But they have the hospital, which is great. Their poverty will not seem so depressing when they are healthier. A fine image. Regards, Ken.

I love this shot, Patrick. The trick is to recognize when something will work better in B & W than in colour and I think you got it spot on here. Great detail in the slanting rain and the children's interesting poses in the doorway. Great stuff!

nothing in my view can beat grain, be it digital or film, and the strong tones in this picture are adding a lot of punch to the excellent composition :) very well captured :)

thanks for sharing :)

Wonderful image, bitter sweet. Makes you smile and then you realize the terrible conditions she lives in. Great composition with all the elements in the image, the bed, the doors, the girls, the window and the straight lines of the wood panels.

This evokes Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange in my mind.
