i’d ask these questions as opposed to the ones asked here:
1. can you tell us how you’re developing your style of photography and the choice of colors/composition/storytelling?
2. when you photograph people, what are you trying to emphasize? and how would you do it?
3. in regards of editing, how much editing you still consider tolerable, as in editing contrast and/or editing physical forms of your subjects?

Hi Steve!! Thanks!! I always wonder if the Afghan Girl photo was taken with the Nikkor 105mm 2.5 "AI" or with the "AI-S"? Thanks!!

u shouldn’t like him, He did this without permission. The girl was terrified and didn’t want her picture taken because its against her religion. She’s not aloud to take off her berka but they made her.
