too much Powder Face (image)
Nov.15, 2006: Manila Philippines
Olympus E-1, Olympus Zuiko 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital: 1/400s f/4.0 at 44.0mm iso400
A beautiful little child on Mabini Street in Metro Manila who's Family I frequently see (his Family was one of the Family's close to Rosa & Edison's place who we included in the massive clothing buy we did for all the children there in December 2005)
...his Mama has powdered his face so he can be more comfortable in the heat & humidity there.
Maybe a little too much powder:)
...plus, since this turned out to be a sharp portrait from in-close, I also wanted to post it larger then I normally do, which is 600x450 px - at 675 px (I tried 700 pixels, but the right side of the image turned out to be outside the usable MovableType posting space.
I just found this file last night, from my first full day out street shooting on the last trip.
Good Sunday afternoon to you all,
