Vikas, as I have already told you privately, I simply adore this gallery. It’s hard to find words a little out of the field of repeated banality just to express my admiration for the elements, which makes this series of images so unique and impressive. You have a sense of colours and composition absolutely remarkable and a photographic technique which the majority of Pbase photographers cannot equal. This gallery is a magical trip over the aspect of daily life of your town, a difficult subject you have treated with delicacy and taste. I’m getting one of your biggest fans! Thank you for all what I can learn from your photography Marisa
