Between Two Villages

In early 2007 I photographed these photos in the vicinity between the villages of Chapar’ee, Jamaldini and Karez, in Noshkay, Balochistan. In my old Yashica, film, camera.

The stereotypical maxim goes that “photograph your subjects in actual form, as they are”. But all the persons whom I captured in my film here were asked by me that “can I take your photo”. So are these photos are according to the professional-cameraman dictum? I think yes, however I am not a professional but trying to be a one.
