loves old lenses
haha, right!!
For tits, here in Bali, one must look for the..very old ladies. Some of them still walk around topless as they used to do here before Westeners told them that this wasn't decent. Well, now Westerners again do it on some beaches, local watchmen may tell them to cover up because that was not decent, the Westerners responding indignant, complaining how backwards locals were..
A few days ago I was in the car with an Australian photographer. We had passed a very old local lady, obviously very poor woman, carrying a heavy load of dry palm leaves and other wood she had collected on top of her head she will use for cooking, and she was topless. He immediately turned around, passed her again to then waylay her for getting some "shots". She realized it, was not happy about it, stopped walking and talked half loud complaining. So he drove further, around a corner, waited for her there and in the end, using a 800mm lens, did get a few decent photos of her.
One I particularly liked, her look, her eyes and her hand, shriveled skin, fragile looking fingers clasping her walking staff. But of course, not for Balinese but most others, it will be her sagging tits that is the attraction, that make the photo "special"! Maybe, after all, we westerners aren't all that cleared up or enlightened.. yet 😉
