Guess this photo made it into the PhotoEd magazines Digital Edition readers gallery. Wish I could for once get into the hard cover version of a magazine but still a good thingy I guess. More people will here about the "Families Story"...that is always a positive
Here is the picture they chose, will try to make the PhotoEd people a better edit of the photo. It was shot in very low light. The pic is of a new family in the dump who lived directly on the garbage. Always felt the young daughter was seeing her own future as she looked at her mother who is in the shadows smoking. The younger children sleep between them.
Tech sturf....10000 ASA Canon 5D Mark 3 with a 24mm-105mm (image stabilizer) around 1/4 at F 5.6 or F8, using a tripod. Forget if I was providing some of the light with flashlights from the camera position, might have been.
The "HUMANITARIAN by day" thingy in their caption makes me feel rather uneasy. A humanitarian is a doctor who helps tens of thousands in a war zone with 'Doctors without Borders'. I am just some middle aged dude who handed out a few headlamps and rubber boots, not quite the same thing. Luckily Yaum ain't my real name
