Walking through Tana, the capital of Madagascar, we walked past this 'line of underwear' ... It struck my attention since there was also a Christmas tree (it was December) for sale. You - or at least I - wonder who would buy this kind of underwear in the streets to put under their Christmas Tree?
For this sole reason, I just had to cross a busy street to capture this unusual scene. To the surprise of many local bystanders I must admit ... Crazy white woman :)
Oftentimes a photograph contains a background story, worth writing about. Here I will publish short stories behind the photograph taken or why and how I choose to specifically photograph this person or scene.
Like the one above ...This
spontaneous photo, on which Anco is lying down, ‘Passed out’
after a warm day
of filling containers, caught the attention of the jury of an international
photo competition.
From 48000+ entries, ‘Passed Out’ was one of the 15 finalists who were nominated in the category Storytelling. The photo was part of an exhibition in Dana Point, California during a 3-day photo eventand appeared in the January/February issue of Click Magazine. An encouragement to keep pursuing my passion for documentary photography.
