Mathilde from Fontainebleau, FranceUn cliché qui désoriente! File la laine et les jours! La réalité nue! Tourisme et culture! Au-delà de la beauté du lieu, on ressent parfaitement la précipitation des ces dames! 22 Feb 2009 6:15am Jean-François from Les Issambres, Francej'adore le titre d'abord !!!!!!!!!! mdr ........................ !!!! et puis en voyant la photo je ris moins ou "jaune" ....................... la civilisation du tourisme est parfois un peu envahissante et si peu respectueuse et ça marche ;-( ...... !!!!! Bravo pour ce cliché très fort ! 22 Feb 2009 6:57am mo.langel from Courtelary, SwitzerlandLe titre me plait, j'espère que ces dames ont du succès dans leur vente de tricots! Une image pleine d'émotion! 22 Feb 2009 8:04am Elaine- from Canadaseems a bit funny to me to lurk around graveyards to sell socks, but is reasonable enough i guess, makes a great picture 22 Feb 2009 8:24am djedfre from schaumburg, United Statesthat's just amazing! do you get whacked upside the head with the white cane if you don't buy? 22 Feb 2009 8:28am @djedfre: You're damn right, her face made me also think she could ! It was such an unexpecting place to see them running like that... Quite sad, actually... Lorraine from Gatineau, CanadaOh K, j'adore, une de mes préférées...wow que ça me touche! 22 Feb 2009 8:38am hugo poon from hong kong, Hong KongWhat a strong evocative and story-telling picture of the scene! Funny but also sad, especially when you study their expressions closely... Admire how the shot appears spontaneous yet the subjects were so perfectly placed! Great one k@! 22 Feb 2009 8:43am lô from verdun, FranceQuelle force dans cette photo! j'aime le visage de ces femmes burinées par le temps et le soleil. Prises sur le vif dans cet espace ôcre , elles deviennent intemporelles.Quant au titre, tu as fait preuve une fois de plus d'originalité et de créativité. Bravo K@! 22 Feb 2009 8:52am freDeric from Orleans, Franceun commando rondement mené ou la vaillance et la tenacité n'ont pas à rougir face à la bataille des Thermopyles :)... ! J'aime la tonalité des pierres, et le // qu'il existe avec ces femmes solides comme un ...Roc ! 22 Feb 2009 9:31am crÿ from SwitzerlandSorties de nulle part, et malgré leur âge, elle semblent se précipiter... Leur visage ridé, leur corps usé, leurs cheveux emmitouflés. Un cliché qui nous coupe de notre quotidien et qui nous fait voyager un brin en ce dimanche enneigé. Merci pour ce dépaysement total mon amie. Le titre est inventif et teinté de ton humour habituel ;-) Je t'embrasse. 22 Feb 2009 9:33am -1q5yChØt!c- from Persia, Iranwow,such a miserable scene...excellent shot...actually an extraordinary shot ...bravo ! 22 Feb 2009 9:40am Observing from West Cheshire, United KingdomThis looks like a frame from a cine 8mm film, what a wonderful quality..!

Mais je rejoins Anna sur sa judicieuse remarque... 22 Feb 2009 10:25am @zOOm: Le titre ne visait qu'à souligner l'absurde tragique d'une réalité tristissime, je confirme ~ kerfendal from Paris, Franceç a me rappelle toutes ces grands mères en breatgne qui ramendaient les filets ou faisaient de la broderie pour arrondir les fins de semaine. La photo est belle et qui plus est documenataire, la vie ne doit pas être facile la bas, a Kaliningrad je vois, quand j'y vais l'été toutes les petites vieilles qui vendent leurs produis, fleurs légumes, et elles vendent bien! 22 Feb 2009 11:18am Marcah from Quincy, United StatesWhoa!!! What a wonderful work. This is art for art sake and news for the world. Fascinating story and excellent composition. High quality all the way buddy..... 22 Feb 2009 11:53am Alivia from Saint-Etienne, FranceOn a choisi le même thème, c'est drôle, bien sûr très différent en image.. tes pierres ont les teintes chaudes de la lave et j'adore ton traitment qui donne un léger flou sur des points bien particulier de te photo, j'aime aussi le côté reportage qui nous livre les secrets de ces femmes dans ce site si particulier de ce cimetière. Merci pour cette image. 22 Feb 2009 1:03pm Polydactyle from CanadaUne photo touchante. Beaucoup d'humanisme s'en dégage. Tu as posée un regard très doux sur ces femmes.

My best thoughts* philib from dijon, FranceEtonnante et superbe, j'aime beaucoup , bravo............... 22 Feb 2009 6:27pm marianne from Toulouse, FranceJ'ai beaucoup d'admiration pour ces "femmes courage" qui n'ont d'autre soutien que le leur, leur rage de survivre et la force du désespoir ... 22 Feb 2009 6:31pm @marianne: Sorry pour le com non posté ! Encore un coup d'bug d'Am3 :) Mais c'est dimanche, aussi, hein... alors une p'tite sieste, peut-être ? :) Merci de ton com. Je suis plus que d'accord ~ António Pires from Lisbon, PortugalThe graveyards doesn't look similar in Portugal but the old women do. Similitude may not end there and may be it was the reason why a rich Armenian chose my country to end his days and created here a Foundation that bears his name: Callouste Gulbenkian. 22 Feb 2009 6:48pm @António Pires: Great foundation, indeed, well-known in the world - never visited it though, but one day ? Thks for your visit & comment* Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United StatesTerrific capture. There is so much emotion in this image. 22 Feb 2009 7:33pm Richard_Irwin from Belper, United KingdomOh my, their heading your way at top speed, did you run away, or did you buy a new pair of socks? 22 Feb 2009 8:47pm @Richard_Irwin: I took the pic ! ;o) Laurie from New Jersey, United StatesThis is a compelling emotional and slightly if not strangely amusing shot here. Perhaps it is your title that makes it so. This is very interesting. There seems to be an intensity and urgency in this scene. 22 Feb 2009 9:05pm @Laurie: Sad & funny cause absurd like Life sometimes is I'm afraid :/ Thks, Laurie* JJ from Jersey City, United StatesQuite a dramatic shot, seems strange t me as a prime location for trying to peddle trade, just curious did you get any socks? 22 Feb 2009 9:14pm @JJ: No, we gave them money & sat for a chit-chat - kids joined us and told us about the tombstones. A nice moment despite the harsh lives of these people struggling for some coins....... XaviH from Badalona (almost Barcelona), SpainUne photo très lumineuse, comparée avec tes dernières photos. Elle exprime une histoire dramatique. 22 Feb 2009 9:28pm Charles from New York, United StatesAwesome processing and composition. Looks great. 22 Feb 2009 11:00pm Ti from Alpharetta, United StatesThis reminds me of a Chinese holiday called Chin Ming. It's an official holiday for people to go back home and clean up tombs of their ancestors and love ones and pay respect to them. Usually at the grave yards you will find people for hire to do chores like cutting the grass and clean up the area around the tomb for you. Vendors selling water or soft drinks or even box lunch...these women remind me of such event.... That also reminds I need to pay a visit to my father's grave next time I go back.... 22 Feb 2009 11:12pm @Ti: Thanks for this comment, Ti, it touches me ~ K from Paris, FranceHello K@, de retour par ici, bravo pour tes photos que je revois les unes après les autres, quel oeil, toujours...! K 22 Feb 2009 11:13pm Grahame from Mt Maunganui, New ZealandTheres a fair amount of desperation going on in this image. 23 Feb 2009 1:03am Tammy/Cricket from Huntsville, United StatesOh this pictures is so wonderful I actually feel guilty telling you so. Look at the hardship and expressions on these faces. Timeless image. Just timeless. 23 Feb 2009 4:13am Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New ZealandNice title...they look like they are on a mission indeed!!! 23 Feb 2009 6:16am San G. from Encino, California, United StatesI'll bet you could outrun them! Not that you'd want to ... sounds like you had a good time learning all about the history and the nature of things. When I saw the shot for the first moment I thought of a place I saw on the coast of France called Karnac. There were tall standing stones all in rows that predate Stonehenge. They were beautiful and profound. So ... when I saw your image, I thought these women were running through the standing stones of Karnac. The story you tell is quite poignant. 23 Feb 2009 9:55am @San G.: I agree with you, Carnac is a place close to this, except that here we're in a poor country and harsh life running as you can see. Thks for your com ! Stef67 from in my head, Francehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, elle tracent grave en plus, non superbe shoot,j adore ^^ 23 Feb 2009 4:03pm Steve Rice from Olympia, United StatesYou are braver than me. I would fall back if confronted by such an onslaught. 23 Feb 2009 5:08pm @Steve Rice: I wanted the pictures ! :))) NarB from Bruxelles, BelgiumTrès bien vu, j'adore :) 23 Feb 2009 6:33pm alex centrella from California, United Statesone of my favorite images of yours.. 24 Feb 2009 9:22pm @alex centrella: I'm very happy you visited me back, thank you and see you soon with one of your new posts, Alex* Ilan from IsraelWhat a photo! 24 Feb 2009 9:55pm Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United StatesI am working with a home builder by the name of Vahan Bezdikian (as well as many Armenian housing developers). I am good friend with him, and I am going to quiz him on Noradous ;) Thanks for sharing Karine. 24 Feb 2009 11:35pm @Howard F.: Please say Hello to Vahan for me, I'm an armenian too (yet from Istanbul) "Bezdik" means "little", he'll be stunned that you know that now :)) Inés from Namur, BelgiumElles filent les fileuses pour améliorer leur destin ... 25 Feb 2009 5:39am @Inés: Merci ma p'tite Inès d'être passée poser tes coms partout - tu me manquais ! J'espère que tu vas bien et te bise* moncler from putian, ChinaYou are one great photographer! All combined with great creativity and humanity.

A hug, Adela 31 Dec 2010 2:40am Christine from Duns, United KingdomUtterly fantastic, and the title gave me a laugh :)) 11 Jul 2011 1:17pm @Christine: Thanks for browsing back here, Christine* |
