Angolan civil war. During a lull in the fighting, people appear momentarily at a shell hole in the side of the building that they are taking shelter in. Then they receded into the darkness.

Puts things into perspective doesn't it! Dramatic image; dramatic composition.
ReplyDeleteIt does Lizz!
DeleteI find it amazing that they're smiling at you while you took the shot.
ReplyDeleteYes Rob, I didn't really notice it at the time. It is a kind of smile. I couldn't decide if they were mildly amused to see a white guy in the street below photographing them or if was a kind of nervous smile? I will never know.
DeleteThanks Efi. I remember how quite it was. There seemed to be no ambient sound - quite surreal.
ReplyDeleteamazing photo Jack. Ten of them, and mostly kids I think?
