If I take all the http:// out, then I can post as above. I will have yet another go tomorrow. I feel a bad case of OCD coming on in getting this to work, or as a colleague described it: CDO because she likes the letters in the right order...

Nice photos Richard- good sepia tone colouring. Is it you on the couch/settee- gosh you have "aged" since your last self portrait- all this travelling

Very nice shots Richard, they all tell a story of your trip, I like your choice of colour tones and all are crisp and clear.

I like the last one best I think, the chap is surrounded by sandals and chooses to go Barefoot!!! It looks like he sits there a lot as his left knee appears to have worn out the bottom of the display stand.

Thanks Nat. Aged, grown six inches and stopped shaving!!! No, he is a colleague. The reason I included him in this little group is because of the restaurant we were in, which just like any separates single men from families. But also this was very "traditional" so there were no chairs, no cutlery etc. We had to sit on these cushions on the floor and remove our shoes. Of course it is rude to show the soles of your feet to your fellow diners, so if, like me (or my colleague!) you are less supple than you used to be you end up sitting "Cleopatra-like". So to me, this is a part of my story from Saudi!

Best

Re: Portraits taken in Saudi Arabia

Thanks also to Paul and Emily. I really appreciate your comments! I too am very fond of that last photograph. I suspect it is one for printing. I am just not quite sure where it will be hung!!! Not sure my wife will appreciate it in the same way...

The last one with the guy in the shoe shop as something to it... especially as he's bare foot.

Re: Portraits taken in Saudi Arabia

I like the toning as well. Should look more closely as I hadn't originally noticed the man was barefoot in the last photo.
