I like this photo because it captures old architecture and it looks as if the person riding the bike is
painted on the road.
I like this picture because the reflection of the man in the water .
I like this image because of the mountains and skyline in front of the four women praying.
One of my favorite photographers. He didn't take out a lot of photo equipment with him, he took a small 35MM camera and took some of the most amazing photographs. We sometimes forget that it isn't the expensive equipment that makes a great photographer, it's someone who constantly takes photographs every day and develops and eye for a great picture... that is what makes you great. Love his work!
