The use of a camera is similar to that of a knife. You can use it to peel potatoes, or carve a flute. ~ E. Kahlmeyer

    Thanks for looking, Steve. I liked the juxtaposition of centuries old traditional dress and use of current technologies. When she shot me the look, I knew I had it.

    Hi Patti,
    REally like this one too and the looks you captured.
    So many details here that I keep going to from their clothing, the technology, the stares, the dainty hands one the one lady whose head to toe covering are oddly revealing in their clinginess. Love it.

    If looks could kill....

    I like the juxtaposition aspects as well.

    The young one appears to have a veil over shoulders , but isn't wearing it,seems to add another dimension to the story of the image.

    I was surprised by her lack of hijab. She appears to be of an age close to sexual maturity.

    thanks Liz. Quite so. I hadn't really noticed the clinging of clothing.

    Great image and I love the expressions from the eyes of the two women looking towards you. Interesting perspective as it feels as if the veiled women is looking right at me while the young one isn't.
