About the Image(s)

During the long drive through Ethiopian roads, among others, we met soldiers, young, very polite boys, willing to share some photos with me. Once more, I felt that language is never a problem; feelings do all the work -good or bad. I set a shallow depth of field to emphasize his face while keeping the surroundings to show where I met him. I also included another soldier in the background to convey the calm atmosphere and the mood of the moment they shared with me. Tech stuff: f/10, 1/640 sec., ISO 400, 70mm focal length, pattern metering.
