°Madurai Raincap, a photo from Tamil Nadu, South

Photographer's Note

'Keep your head dry' to avoid catching a cold, different from cold countries where keeping your feet dry is most important !
A plastic sack, reversed, hiding the publicity of the "Sangu & Keeps" clothing-shop, will do the trick : cheap and best.

A psycho gaze!
Sorry if he is your friend, but this is the first impression he left on me.
The plastic cap is a very nice invention, clever protection from that heavy rains of your region.
I love the red glow in the DOF.
I think the WS is also worth a real post.
Keep wet,
Deniz

WS 1 is so good, all the life of the street and also the flying/floating bananas (and the diary-like accompanying note) - happy colours !
Great humour here !
TFS,
C.

Hi Henk,

Strong image and a nice combination with the two workshops! What I always appreciate of your photographs is the way they are grabbed out of life. And yes, very recognizable the plastic bag over the head :-). He'll probably walk on flip-flops in 20 centimeters of sewer-water ;-).

Greetings!
Dennis

Dear Henk,
I love this one. a simple enough portait, shot in meagre light, with great color tones. the look is well captured, with the makeshift cap to get off the raindrops.
Greetings, Arnab

Hi Henk.

Wonderful note and also very good picture.
The use of the DOF is very smart and I love the way you shot in this portrait.

Regards.
