Three columns standing near the remains of the Theatre of Marcellus. This once lively theatre, commissioned by no other than Julius Caesar himself, eventually fell into disrepair, until finally turned into apartments. . . . . #orphanednation #italy #tuscany #italian #ig_italia #nature #bbctravel #cctv #passionpassport #photojournalism #italiano #offthebeatenpath #rome #worldcaptures #instatravel #lonelyplanet #yourshotphotographer #travelblogger #ig_italy #backpacking #lifewelltravelled #instapassport #traveltheworld #natgeo #travelpics #wanderlust #roma #travelphotography #backpacker #旅行 (at Rome, Italy)

Photographing women is a difficult task for a male photographer traveling in more conservative countries. I can either try and sneakily take a candid or ask directly. Not wanting to disrespect anyone, I usually choose the latter option. I am often refused however, the reason being that they are Muslim or have overprotective husbands. Despite this, I continue to ask, the worst thing they can say is no.
In Rawanduz I again approached a group of women sitting in the shade. The elderly women quickly said no, saying that they were Muslim. I nearby woman called me over and allowed me to photograph her. She then led me to her family graveyard, plucked a flower and laid against the gravestone. I can only assume that the grave is that of her husband, this possibly a reason as to why she agreed to be photographed. Her tenderness and hospitality humbled me. I thanked her repeatedly for her openness. Before I left she handed me the flower and said goodbye. Seeing her was definitely a touching and moving experience, which shows a country still in the process of healing. . . . . #orphanednation #kurdistan #kurdish #kurd #iraq #nature #bbctravel #cctv #passionpassport #photojournalism #journalist #offthebeatenpath #traveldiary #worldcaptures #instatravel #lonelyplanet #yourshotphotographer #travelblogger #adventure #backpacking #lifewelltravelled #instapassport #traveltheworld #natgeo #travelpics #wanderlust #inspirationcultmag #travelphotography #backpacker #旅行 (at Rawandiz)
