dickgrafixstop Posted April 17, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 17, 2014 The girls are charming. The laundry line is a riot of colors. Think a crop of that would be interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted April 17, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Hank, A fine series of the lower class of living and it is apparent those poor unhappy girls don't have the chance to be wealthy although you couldn't tell it on their faces.

Paul You know Paul, after living here I find these children are not unhappy . In some ways they have a healthier outlook then we have with our luxury and conveniences.

In some ways they have a healthier outlook then we have with our luxury and conveniences. Hank, I was quite sure of that. I have seen more happy expressions from the people (especially the children) than I see from all the poor rich kids in the USA. They have been brought up at the end of a computer keyboard instead of simple play like we experienced as children. Paul 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted April 17, 2014 Share #7 Posted April 17, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hank, these 2 pictures are interesting in several aspects. First they are a good documentary of living conditions, then people are showing a kind of positive attitude towards life in their faces. The third aspect is a horrid environment contamination with all sort of evil things. Forth we find a great variety of colors and a good framing. As a documentary the framing is perfect. The crop is showing a different view and is giving it a different focus in terms of emphasizing the color aspect. But I think in this case in my opinion it does make more sense to show all aspects of life there. Thanks for letting us have a glimpse of the "Backside".

Iduna, thank you for your candid comments and observations , you have an innate ability to express your thought quite well and I appreciate. Best regards. hank Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnew Posted April 17, 2014 Share #9 Posted April 17, 2014 Hank, I agree with Iduna. For me the first shots are stronger. (I like much no2)It pulls out the contrast between the environment and the care of these people for cleanliness and the smile in their face. Your pictures remind always the sense of recognition we should have for what we have... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Filipino people may not have the convinces we take for granted, but they are good housekeepers and the clothes their family wear are always clean. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundraline Posted April 17, 2014 Share #11 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) I like the second one best, Hank. These photos bring a vivid rush of memories back to me, as I spent years working in oil exploration in places like the Philippines (Mindoro, Cebu, Mindanao, and Tuguegarao), Indonesia (Aceh and Irian Jaya), Brazil, Gabon, Qatar, etc., etc. Garbage strewn all about, pot-holed roads, phones that don't work, electricity provided on an irregular basis, filthy contaminated water, rank poverty, too many sick and dying babies, too many hungry and poor people, corrupt government officials, and petty thievery are the standard set pieces of the Third World mosaic. After a number of years these things really got to me, mostly because I could never get to the point of being able to ignore and not care about the constant human misery and suffering that was everywhere. Many people I worked with had no problem doing this, however. These days I don't take many trips to Third World countries. The fact that people can be happy under such circumstances is a tribute to the amazing human spirit. Keep up the good work, Hank!

larsv Posted April 17, 2014 Share #12 Posted April 17, 2014 Hank, Over the past three decades, I spent a large amount of time in Asia. I did not want to take the shots you did. Only a short while ago I realized it was my embarassment, not theirs. The way you take your shots is not disrespectful in any way and they certainly provide a view of the daily life. Thank you.

Lars You brought up a very interesting point of view which is quite common for most including yours truly, seeing through our own eyes, we see only what the mind wants us to see. We are conditioned to think what matters is our own personal view. As the old Indian proverb says, "Don't judge a man till you have walked two moons in his moccasins." I am including another picture taken which might be better then the others for this group. Thank you Lars hank Welcome, dear visitor!
