Hi Ed. Thanks for commenting. See my replies interspersed.
> Pretty good photo, not sure if it's just a "web" problem, but it's hard to > read the banner... That's due to rather weak handwriting on a brown cardboard, lit by warm light. My tries to make it more readable gave so-so results. I have to try it harder. > I believe it's something like my kid is sick and I cannot afford to buy > medicine, right? (I cannot really read italian, sorry... but I can "guess" a bit... as it's kinda close to portuguese :) You're correct > Yeah, it's sad to see that people get so used to see "poverty" that no one > cares anymore... As I wrote in my reply to Shel, passers-by did not care until I sat in front of the couple. Then most of them continued to ignore, while some of them stopped, curiously looking at me. A small crowd was developing: too much for me. > anyways, I think the pic could be even stronger if it'd be a lower angle > and closer... maybe with a telephoto so that the "background" is kind of flattened... I was sitting, with my back against a step of a staircase. In order to do what you suggest, I had to dismantle a marble stairway :-) > Good luck on the World Cup quest! :) :-) > Ed, hoping Brazil will make it! Sorry, Brazil is out, and I think they quite deserved that. Dario -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
