Posted by Dimitrios (ATHENS, Greece) on 3 July 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

I was going from one place to the next and this street appeared to be a small market place, full of friendly faces that welcome the chance to see themselves even for a few seconds on the monitor of a digital camera! Well a big thank you to this mother and son that posed for me in Buhara, Uzbekistan. ΣΑΣ ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ ΘΕΡΜΑ. THANK YOU KINDLY

Sidonie from Sydney, Australia

They loved you! And what an unusual washstand or basin - it looks like it's made of silver!

@Sidonie: When I was young(GHMmm ages ago) we had things like these outside in order to wash our hands, the metal is a form of inexpensive iron treated so not to rust away, regards D

Another great People Picture! Nice work, Dimitrios! Based on the response you get from random subjects in your pictures, I'll bet you're very charming in person :)

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan

Well, the little boy took the seance very seriously! I like his expression and position on that chair bigger than him!

15 Jul 2008 7:24am

@Japanalia: he enjoyed been photographed especially when he saw his face on the camera

l.a. from Cape Canaveral, United States

I agree, you must be charming for her to smile so. Lovely composition with the lines in the building and the paintings just beyond. (looking over a few other of your shots) You have a wonderful way of capturing people, even when looking right at you, and yet still not looking posed.

16 Jul 2008 5:51pm

@l.a.: well I am happy that you see that in the pictures, to be honest I am a bit shy when taking photos like these but the people there in Uzbekistan are KIND and very generous with their smiles. Take care l.a. regards D.
