[Leica] IMGS: The Rock Collectors

[Philippe]

All beautiful photographs Tina. And very delicate testimonies of the human condition as it is for some.

Now, that some on FB don’t like it to exist as such doesn’t prevent you from documenting it, on the contrary. You give these Bangalis another level of existence. Thank you for that.

The beauty is in the eyes of the beholder they say, I ‘d add, and in their hearts.

Amities
