Artist's Comments
She didn't want me to photograph her because she couldn't see right. I guess she was ashamed.... but at the end she agreed only for one shot.... I love this portrait
 location: Bedouin village in desert which is couple of miles away from the city Hurghada, Egypt. Daily DeviationGiven 2009-07-29Desert life by =dreamersshadow - The Suggestor Writes - "You cannot really see any of the important cornerstones of a 'good/classic' portrait in this picture (such as the eyes, the 'windows to the soul' or even the entire facial expression, which can depict anything from anguish to elation,) yet at the same time, this woman appears more human to me than any polished model I've ever seen. I feel ashamed that I can only know her superficially as a subject of art, rather than the wife, mother or grandmother she might be in real life... HOWEVER, I feel this portrait captures the essence of all of these and other combined attributes of a long lived life." (Suggested by ~Catherine-Elenore and Featured by `bypass2020) Comments Really love this portrait..
Because it reminds me some family in Anatolia - Turkey.. Keep up da good work! -- -tumsanatkarruhlaraselamolsun- şiir severler buyrun! [link]   odlicno
   -- .."It is easy to take a photograph, but it is harder to make a masterpiece in photography than in any other art medium" - Ansel Adams..   Me love it too!!!
