Tourists, a photo from Sancti Spiritus, Ouest

Photographer's Note

I took this photo in Trinidad, a beautiful old colonial city in Cuba. The kids in this picture were making a killing posing for pictures for the many tourists.

Note: This is a digital picture of a printed picture. It is not as sharp as I would like. Sorry.

nice catch. The note are very explanatory, so i believe the kids are almost "models" ;)

cuba must be a beautiful country with beautiful people, its a shame it's economical conditions.

A very good "photo within a photo." It is, in its way, a comment on all of us behind the camera.

At the same time it's a good photograph in itself. The dynamic between the photographer and the posing kids is great, the composition is good, and the colour is wonderful.

Two for one: a little bit of self-conscious thought, and a beautiful image at the same time.

Of course I wish it was clearer, but you've explained the cause of that. I wonder if anything can be done to improve its situation in this respect?
