Subject: RE: BS: Photo Exhibition
'Twilight door' Got the canvas treatment for the expo - and sold !!! What can I say !

Photo was taken in a jungle village in Liberia, West Africa. Myself and another volunteer had been tasked to travel to recover a crashed car, and 3/4 ways there stopped for a breather, basically the sun was on its way down and caught beautifully the mud walls and timber door of the building. I took two photo's one of the building and another zoomed in onto the door as you see it (God bless Zoom lenses).

So in a nutshell - nothing staged, 5 minutes either way and photo may never have been taken. So rather opportunistic, which is same really for a lot of the photo's I have. Seems to work and tell a story in their own right by requiring the viewer to think about the image that little bit more.

Anyway - glad you liked it. Wednesday I'm back in work (broadband connection) so I'll get back to uploading the rest.
