J’ai séjourné cette année à Lombok, durant la période du Ramadan. Je n’ai pourtant pas ressenti de mauvaise humeur durant cette période éprouvante pour la population. Une lassitude visible simplement, surtout les derniers jours. Seul les plus jeunes échappent à ce régime.
Le traitement des couleurs ne m’ayant pas satisfait, j’ai opté pour une version N&B me disant que finalement les hommes en N&b, ce n’est pas plus mal… n’est-ce pas ?

superbe série et le nb qui va bien
bonne soirée
Merci Patrick, toujours le premier à réagir.
Bonne journée.
A splendid series that showcases what they go through during this period. And you are right. The youth tend to fair well. The B&W imagery brings out beautiful tones.
Thank you Steven for this relevant and benevolent comment.
Bonne journée à toi.
color can be a distraction from the subject. a bright shirt can distract from a weary face. nice set of shots
Thank you Harry, your benevolent comment makes me very happy.
Bonne journée.
I agree with the B&W comments above, Jean, and should try it more often for myself. Ramadan is quite an ordeal, for sure, especially if you work with people who observe it, as Astrid did in her working years. It’s not always easy for the workers who don’t observe it, like here in the Netherlands, when they work side by side.
It’s true!
Thank you Ginnie, your comment is in line with the observation I made, on the occasion of this beautiful trip to Indonesia, where the inhabitants practice their religion with respect and good humor.
Bonne journée Ginnie
It must take its daily toll, jean. I hadn’t really given it much thought before, but your pictures are thought-provoking
Thank you Lisl for your relevant and benevolent comment.
Bonne journée.
Ramadan to me comes with the religion and in each religion you have the real followers and the « when it is convenient » ones. I love your B&W of the people. You do people-photography so well!!
Bonne journée.
Thank you Astrid, your comment is still as complimentary to me.
I try as much as possible to photograph people in their daily lives without disturbing them.
Bonne journée.
I like the mood of the B&W. It suits this period of time. Your portraits of children are always beautiful. Have a wonderful day.
Yes, the choice of B&W with men was self-eviting.
Children have such natural and easy attitudes… that I have no difficulty photographing them.
Bonne journée Ruthie.
The black/white fits perfectly with the circumstances of the ramdam. As you yourself wrote in the intro.
Thank you Willem for this precise answer that comforts me in my choice.
Bonne journée.
Le jeûne du mois de ramadan constitue l’un des cinq piliers de l’islam….
Une belle série avec une préférence pour la première
bonne journée Jean
Merci Willy pour ton pertinent et bienveillant commentaire.
Bonne journée.
