The early morning sun sharply defines the characters of this man and child resting near the entrance to this busy market on the western fringe of San Miguel. I made this picture from a long distance at a 420mm focal length. Both subjects were aware that I was making a picture, but since I was so far out of their space, they had no idea how much else I might have had in my frame, so did not seem either hostile or self conscious. The man displays a natural curiosity. The child unemotionally accepts my presence. In this black and white image, the interplay of light and shadow abstracts the portrait and takes it out of the realm of a specific travel photograph, becoming more of a universal statement about the relationships between adults and children. I posted the original color image in a travel article at http://www.worldisround.com/articles/237925/photo55.html The color version makes it look more like a travel shot, and less like a portrait.
