Une image authentique, prise à Bali que je n’ai pas traitée… dès que j’ai vu ce garçon aux cheveux verts, j’ai pensé immédiatement au film de Losey.
An authentic image, taken in Bali that I did not process… As soon as I saw this boy with green hair, I immediately thought of Losey’s movie.

Bali, INDONESIE, mars 2025

A beautiful and meaningful portrait thanks to the look in the eyes.
Yes, I am quite proud of this portrait taken on the spot of the Balinese New Day ceremony.
ce garçon aux cheveux verts semble avoir la même pensée que la parabole de Joseph Losey de 1948 Jean… un excellent portrait….peter/pierre 🙂
Oui, c’est immédiatement ce que j’ai pensé, en apercevant ce garçon… ayant apprécié ce film sur la différence.
Bonne fin de semaine Peter.
Fine shot of the boy. the colored strands of hair really add character. the imposition of someone’s shoulder between you and the subject is unfortunate.
Thank you for your positive comment, it is a portrait that I made by hand, in the street, during the Balinese New Day ceremony.
excellent ce portrait
bonne journée
Oui, merci Patrick,
Bonne journée également.
The green hair really suits him, jean. When I was younger, and before people coloured their hair in bright colours, I always wanted to have green hair, and didn’t dare! A very nice portrait
Why not green hair?
In any case, it was the parallel between this boy and Joseph Losey’s film that motivated me, in this case.
I wish you a great day.
Oh, WOW, Jean. It actually looks beautiful on him!
Yes, he is a young Balinese boy, during the Balinese New Year’s Day party: the « NEYPI »
And it is a beautiful green as well, Jean. It is very important to have a child do things « within borders » but in this case it is well cut and kept and a very nice colour. I have a on who use to be a real skater, hair longer than I had in that time….. now he is father of 3 and married 🙂 Live and let live.
Bonne journée.
Thank you Astrid for your lovely answer or you remind me of good and happy family memories.

Je te souhaite une bonne journée.
reading your words,the portrait takes on an intensity and emotion. Beautifully done. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you very much Ruthie for your complimentary comment.
Je te souhaite une bonne fin de semaine.
Là tu m’en apprends, et c’est avec intérêts que j’en recherche plus.
Cela me fait plaisir… Joseph Losey auteur de ce film très intelligent sur la différence entre les êtres humains est un chef-d’oeuvre. Il a choisit comme héros un garçon aux cheveux verts qui devient une victime de son apparence.
