Hi Gert
Definitely not an ordinary photo, as you say, this is just not an ordinary country. Or, I would even add, not just an ordinary continent.
I like the collection of several types of traditional clothes also described in your note in a very informative way. Unfortunately they prove my theory - in many Asian countries women are the only guardians of tradition.
Fine example of street photography.
Best wishes
Kasia

You've described interestingly this photo, so that we know what to make of this scene, a very nice picture of Indian realities, very well captured

Hello Gert,
you make a great point with your picture and note and, although I have seen daily life in India only in pictures, I agree that everything looks special there. The most obvious reason is the colours, then the textures, the arrangement of daily life details. All of these can be found in your picture and the scene with the family chatting in front of the shops is interesting. They seem to be having a brief family council and I 'm ready to make up the whole conversation. The scene is both public and intimate. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Bonsoir, cher ami Gert,
J'aime l'ambiance qui se dégage de la composition. Une image prise sur le vif, sans maniérisme, très naturelle.
Les couleurs ressortent à merveille.
Bravo !
Amitiés.

Hello Gert,

Such a typical picture from India. It reminds me Bikaner. Dilapidated walls, small shops, cables, women still in traditional dresses but a man "normally" dressed. Seeing such a picture, I would like to go there. There are two countries in the world I like most - India and Italy. Much easier to go to Italy, unfortunately. But what a strange idea to go to that part of India. I suppose there are no tourists there. 2009 - quite new. We are already on TE, but I do not remember this trip of yours.

Warm regards MAlgo

Hi Gert
Street candid and the essence of the place, by using interplay of strong colours & people to trigger our senses. They brighten up the environment with some other interest around. A simple yet works photographically. Well done
Best regards

Hi Gert
I've enjoyed reading all the signage and advertising text in this one - especially the the health warning about Goldflake. I suspect things didn't change much between the time of my trip to India in 1977 and when you took this in 2009 - the general shabbiness and peeling paint, the way tiny businesses (often 'traders' who sell all kinds of unrelated products) rubbed up against each other, the hotch-potch of electrical wiring all over the place, but overall the sense of colour and constant energy in the streets. Apart perhaps from the phone recharge, the shopping bag and the smoking warning, I think this shot could have been taken thirty years earlier, but you'd have a better idea of that than me. I like your title and the interesting note. If you asked me if I'd ever return to India I'd give you a 'definite maybe'.
Regards and Christmas wishes
Andrew

Hello Gert,
Lovely daily life photo of the encounter of these three people in the street. The bright yellow, orange and blue of the ladies' and the child's clothes make a nice contrast. The background offers a lot of different details on the shop facades. Well seen and captured.

Hello Gert,

This may well be an ordinary street scene from India but it is certainly not of the genre of "nothing special" because it gives a lovely snapshot of daily life in a place not travelled by the majority of us westerners.

It is a well composed photograph too, the main subject, this little family group, perfectly placed in the frame and standing out beautifully against the background of a somewhat tatty and run down row of shops. And what never ceases to amaze me of India is that these people must have to spend an extraordinary amount of time and effort cleaning and laundering for how else could they always appear so clean and immaculately and colourfully dressed while walking in these scruffy streets?

And, good though scans of faithful old Kodachrome slides might be, I think the quality of this photograph must convince all that the progression to digital photography has been a definite improvement, not only in terms of convenience but also image quality.

Excellent!

Kind Regards,

John.

P.S. Have a Wonderful Christmas!

Hi dear Gert

Yes this is your signitured image as "Human story shot"
as your life work. Very interesting but quite natural snap image in a usual street, however so appealing, as reflecting thier daily life so vividly. Quite sharp and clear presentation too.

All the best and have a good day! Takero

Hej Gert
Du har helt ret. Det ordinære er ofte unikt. Kender du forfatteren og digteren Dan Turell? Han skrev en fin poesi pm hverdagen.(se adressen nederst, hvis du vil høre digtet).
Dit foto har mange gode detaljer, som du også selv påpeger. Den øverste del af billedet har en speciel slidt æstetik. Det har varerne i butikken til venstre også.Kvindernes tøjstil er ligeledes en observation værd.
Det er dit årvågne øje igen, Gert. Mange års træning giver resultat.
Bedste hilsner
Frank.

Ciao dear Gert

Your title and note are wonderful complements to this excellent photo. As you say, there is nothing "every day" about India. Ever. You captured this idea very well. Lovely colours, contrasts and atmosphere.

Thanks for sharing, have a wonderful Christmas and New Year
Lisa

Hello Gert,

Yoy say an ordinary street but taken, in high quality with a perfect street view and people
A pleasant contrast picture with lovely enlightenment too.
Composition and presentation and colours are beautiful together.
Very well done, TFS.

Kind regards,
John.

Hello Gert,
I like your note very much. I have only travelled to India once but understand what you are saying as every street corner seemed to reveal something new and unexpected. Your photo shows daily life very well and the colours of India can be seen in the clothes and architecture. A very sharp and well taken photo.
Best wishes, Ann

Hello gert,
nice the snapshot in the street with the couple and the woman with her child to be chatting.A good reportage shot from the daily life of India with the brilliant light of the day to enhance even more the beauty as the details of the scene.Well done.

Regards,Danos

gert

very special the visual dialogue between the baby and the other personages, they are so natural and well positioned and the chaos of shops behind is very curious, there is even an advertising against cigarettes.
yes, indian streets are ever surprising.

take care
