Faces of Yemen 1998
25 years ago I was fortunate to visit Yemen. For this week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #263 ‘A face in the crowd’ I will publish some street portraits of that trip. The first is from Kaukaban. Looking back at old photos can raise questions: what happened to them in those 25 years? Especially now this beautiful country is suffering from a terrible war.
About the B4 retouch series:
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. Some of them are partly retouched but most do have scratches, dust and stains.
Shot with Nikon F90 on Kodak TriX, scanned from film and edited using Snapseed and Marksta . Click the picture for a bigger version.
What's (in) the Picture?

Wonderful image. Thanks for sharing here. I’d love to see more of your trip if you have them posted on your blog. If so, leave a link in a reply comment for me. Thanks.
