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. 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?

What a great idea to post your images from that visit in a series. I just went back and looked at all of them.

Hi John, the idea to pick the street portraits comes from this week LAPS. Yemen was the first photobook on my first website. And in 2015 I published some of it on WordPress. Flickr is the archive from that. I am still looking to a way to publish my photos on my website, I’m still looking for a form as a background. Lots of photos to choose from, but how to tell those stories? I used to have the negative presentation to tell my story of it. It will come together at one point :-)Thanks for your kind words!

Negative presentation: the photo displayed as the negative image, at that time it all was film 🙂

You came home with some wonderful images from that trip; some worthy of Magnum

Sad, and poignant, perhaps. Great photo.
