Photographer's Note
Here is another shot from the boys who followed me into the abandoned mud hut beside the womens weaving cooperative.
See my previous posts for more info on the boys and the weaving project if you are interested.
I know the eye is not what is in clear focus, rather his nose and mouth. I will admit I did not do this intentionally, although I do like how it turned out. Yes the eye certainly draw attention, but i find the cracks in his lips and what have you around his mouth are just as interesting and striking, after the first look.
This boy was really interesting to shoot as he wasn't so interested in the picture or what to do in the photo, he was more interested in the shutter. I have numerous photos in which he is just staring straight into the lens, waiting for the shutter to click.
Let me know what you think, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Adam,
It's really interesting photo.. First his eye look great in B&W.. Your perspective that dividing his face into two parts makes it more creative..
I like it..
Congratulations,

Dear Adam,
Very expressive "half" face. He has a slim chick : he must not eat enough.
His eye with the white is very intense.
He impressed me, he tells something strong.
Well done.
All the best

Well, it's an interesting and disturbing photo. There is something dramatic in this mouth and this palpitating eye. The fact of show us only a piece of the face it's really a good choice. Yes, there is something disturbind despite all in this image but I can't explain it well...
Congratulations.
Javier
