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.

  1. ce garçon aux cheveux verts semble avoir la même pensée que la parabole de Joseph Losey de 1948 Jean… un excellent portrait….peter/pierre 🙂

    1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Thank you for your positive comment, it is a portrait that I made by hand, in the street, during the Balinese New Day ceremony.

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. reading your words,the portrait takes on an intensity and emotion. Beautifully done. Have a wonderful day.

    1. 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.
