Am
trying to print the neg of the image the PAG chose to put on their web
advertisement. Figured I better make it since they chose it. Trying to
make it warmer and more moody. This is attempt number 2, usually takes
me print 5 to 8 to get it right.
The pic is of 2 sisters on the edge of the garbage dumpsite, where their families live and work. made in late 2015. Later on I photographed the older child after her head was shaved. Lice is a big problem in the dump,as are rats, cockroaches, wild dogs (bite sometimes)etc.
