A strange little photo from my trip to Italy, where a girl who isn't more than 6-7 years old wears make-up. That's a bit odd, innit, but then again, with such parents I guess one can understand.
Just a statement of quirkyness since the special photo i wanted to post had run out of time.. so quickpost...

Daca poza e facuta in Romanica, nu ar trebui sa te mai mire. eu stau langa o scoala generala si zilnic raman tot mai uimit de cum se duc la scoala tancii de azi. si nu vb aici de machiaj... pacat de ei. poza e ok pt o candit picture, i-am inteles mesajul. am trecut si pe la Photoblog Awards 2007. bafta la concurs

@Catalin: E facuta la romanasi, desi e din Italia (cum am zis mai sus :P). si da, copiii din ziua de azi sunt ciudati... de fapt parintii sunt ciudati si de-aia si copiii. oricum nush, mi se pare aiurea sa machezi un copil asa mic...
si mersi pentru vot :)
oh my god! isn't she cute ( the childe of course!) such a great shot! well done!

@Mahyar: well, aren't they all. and for that matter, when we're young, even ugly young people are beautiful, because of their energy. :)
and thanks, parents are touchy about getting their kids photographed so i had to be stealthy. apparently it paid off.
thanks for another visit my friend, be sure to come again :)
wonderful image. The child seems to be so at peace.

@Rags: thanks mate, she was tiired and hey, who doesn't like such a little angel when she's sleeping? :)
Brilliant capture, beautiful :)

Beautiful picture!

@Pedro Lírio: Thanks Pedro. hopefully today will be a nice mountain photo...
Interesting capture, eydryan! A bit too young, I agree. But even my 3 1/2 daughter is beginning to emulate my wife and would put on lipstick (for real) and eyeshadows, etc. (pretend). So don't know what's gonna happen 2 - 3 years from now...maybe she will put on the whole make-up! Yikes!
p.s. you are right about the black thing on the left on my previous post...I tried to crop it out...hmmm...maybe I'll photoshop it out. Thanks, bud!

@{H} creatives: thanks mate. really tough one too... ouch, dude, be careful with that, i mean the less make-up a woman uses the more beautiful she is.. you should really teach your daughter that. and i'd like to extend a blessing to her (i kept thinking and i cannot find anything like my traditional "may she live you healthy" - yeah, it barely makes sense, u know, lost in translation). anyway, you have got to be a happy man :) and hey, kids do grow up but they shouldn't hurry about it.
as for the thing, i try to help.. i used to be a critic last winter or so on the tpf until some asshole admin banned me for using a blogger account as a repository for the edited pictures from there. real idiots some admins. that's why our jason is just such a great guy.
thanks again dude for checking out my photos, you usually help me out here and it's fun talkin to you ;)
So lovely !

@ColNed Pictures: thanks dude and hey, ain;t nothin better at skintones that good old oly...
Yeah, looks a little strange with a make-up. Great capture tho!

@alla: thanks :) and yeah i felt that way too, there's just something wrong with the picture
man .. u didn't leave a good bye note. u left the other photobloggers in the mist :)) the ideea is that now he is in the mountains!

@zoloper: yeah, sorry my friend but i left in a hurry, when i left my computer was spread all over my room so... that's why...
E plina de pace si liniste fotografia... N-as fi observat machiajul despre care vorbiti, daca nu ati fi mentionat acest lucru. Si nu i-as fi dat importanta. Expresia fetitei este mult mai valoroasa. :)

@Catalina: asa e , e intotdeauna ceva frumos intr-o poza cu un copil care doarme :)
Its interesting our perceptions of what's right/wrong, normal/strange... go to another country and something you'd never considered hits you. I don't see this photo as being of something odd, the warmth is the thing that grabs me...

@Daroru: yeah, different people see different things. and i know in japan kids tend to look older, and especially young girls but i won't detail what i know because i may be wrong. and yeah, every country has its habits...
Very cute candid here dude. Kids are always fun to shoot. Nice work bro.

@Rahul: thanks mate :) and yeah, kids are fun to shoot but not when parents are around :(
Lovely!!!!
