hi caleb

Must I?

But it is always fun to try local food and taste how it can be.

Great daily scene of life from your perspective.

Hi Caleb!
This one is great....we really get the feeling that we are right down there beside her....and ready to have lunch, which of course you probably were! The low angle works great here, naturally this is the elevation that people in so many locations in Asia tend to work at anyway! Her attention to her task, oblivious to the camera is perfect, and her legs splayed out and her amazing old feet, really make the point. A classic Coleman! Great work, regards,
Steve

Hello Caleb,
A fine and interesting portrait, showing the lady in her wider working environment. Fine natural colours too.
Regards,

Very interesting photo. Well taken from subject's level. I like the containers in BG and the old wall.

Can you imagine how many chapatis she has made in her lifetime?

One of those photos I can stare at for a long time.
