[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
In Argentina, a some people seem to be very poor, and need to ask some money to the tourists to be able to eat something (as everywhere in the world, unfortunately. It's very hard, especially when it concerns children.

Dans ce cas, j'ai pris la photo à f2/8 et 1/400, ce qui n'était pas approprié, mais l'appareil était réglé pour prendre des photos à l'intérieur de l'église, et je n'ai pas eu le bon réflexe de refaire mes réglages (c'est l'inconvénient de travailler en manuel, il ne faut pas être distrait !)

Very powerful image! This doesn't have the glamour of the "tango shots" but it's a truthful image that make us wonder...

Image-choc, on sort du plaisir et tu nous emmènes en plein drame humain! C'est extrêmement bien fait, du pur reportage ! Et ton image, malgré tes explications techniques, a toute la force qu'il faut! Bravo Bernard!

I agree with your sentiments and you have depicted this difficult situation with great detail and decency. Thankyou for sharing.

Interesting shot Bernard, I got into a conversation with our chief photographer at the hospital where I work about these types of images. He calls them "shock photography" and has conservative ethical values about them. He does not believe they should be done unless a photographer is doing a documentary for a news broadcast or public documentary. He raises some good points and I am sure there are many opinions on both sides of the issue. Anyway it makes for good discussion. Your image shows the harsh reality for so many people. Good shot and best regards, Brent

Photo de vie qui attire une grande sympathie...

Très journalistique votre photo, très bonne prise. Elle parle beaucoup cette photo, le message passe. C'est de valeur la misère dans le monde. Nous ici des fois on se plaint à cause il y a trop de traffic lorsqu'on va travailler, des fois on devrait s'arrêter et penser à la misère qu'il y a sur la Terre, on se plaint le ventre plein!

bonjour Bernard. Belle photo qui parle et le N&B va très bien à ce genre de situation.
Rien ne change dans ce bas monde
Beau travail.
JP

Saying it is a 'nice' image would be unfit I think. Shocking, indeed. Your note is true for many, many people all over the world, Bernard. But it is known for a fact that many beggars in Antwerp are dropped of and picked up again by gangs... I think the use of B&W here makes the image more dramatic. Well done, TFS.
