About Being guided through the old kasbha of Alger by an Alger born friend, I got the honour to be presented to Miss Algeria 1950 as it was told to me by her cousin, as well presented herself as she did for her Aunt. The once Miss as they were both proud on, was very friendly to me allowing me to make a picture of her beautiful regard and posture. She only apologized wearing her daily veil and "not that one for special events". That is what I call "Universal Charm" something like the essential of all beauty : it will never get lost with increasing age.

thank you dear friend Paul .
I know what you have meant so very well.
I have that thoughts about being funny title or making jokes of her ,because I wouldn't thought for a second that there is a miss such country for such a year to be presented like this ,or even she might allow some one to capture her,
In short ,it would never came to mind in any way.
as I told you ,I am proud of you ,me and her,because both of you are proud of yourselves,and me because I know such a fine peoples.
my best wishes as always,
and if you make a soon call to your mother ,just say hello ,and be well from me.(the mother day have passed I think)
Saad.

Merci merci Teresa, As what I understood from her cousin that she was Miss Algeria she should have been at least in her eighties, but you are right that in her attitude and regard she looked younger than she really was,
enjoy your weekend,
hugs and kisses,
PAul

Dear friend Saad,
indeed I was not intending to make a funny title here as it was just the information about her as it was told to me proudly by her cousin of 56 years old, that her Aunt was elected to the Miss rounds in the year of 1950. She told me also that in the past when she was still in her twenties she frequently travelled abroad and was photographed as model many times. Now living retired in the Alger Kashba she was still full of positive energy and charm. I found it great to meet her as such an exceptional personality already in her eighties, with a so different lifestyle, age and religion but quickly creating a conspiracy bond between us with mutual respect,
thanks once more Saad for your detailed comment and prising words,
cheers,
Paul

Hi Keith, thanks for your comment. It can get all way with making a photo. In this case it was nice meeting an exceptional personality already in her eighties, so different lifestyle and religion but creating a conspiracy bond and mutual respect,
best regards,
Paul

First of all I offer my deepest respect to you ,second to her.
Because I know you since not a short time here at you UF,and during this period I have smelled from you nothing but the good and fine essence of morals and behaviour ,whether with me or with the others.
here is my thoughts opens to you so frankly my dear friend.
from the thumbnails title, I told myself this bad joking and bad titles ,and making funny titles about others costumes and habits does not produced by this man ,Paul.
and he will hear from me some sever response about this title on a very usual and ordinary costumes of this lady.
You know very well that if this a joke then it was made for every woman wearing this ,and this includes my family and relatives.
Upon opening the shot and reading the about,I felt ashamed for my thoughts about you and MY presumed joke.
you are my friend,and it is my obligation about this friendship is to tell you what I have thought about you,
So,I apologizes for that ,
and I offer my respect to you for the second time in this hurry.And I have to thank you for presenting her in such a decent and respectable about.
my best wishes and regards for you and to Miss Algeria 1950.
BTW,I have such a respectable man in the west named Paul,and let the others show me their friends.
Saad Salem.

Thank you dear Srna,
I also wish you a nice weekend, in Belgrade, I suppose. One of the nice things of making portraits I think is the bond of conspiracy and understanding you create. And this bond is getting far beyond differences in lifestyle, religion or political issues,
hugs and kisses from sunny Paris,
Paul

A wonderful portrait of this beautiful Miss Algeria!So great that you could do this picture from her normally they don't want it.I agree with Turi,I like these friendly eyes.Btw this bag makes a great contrast to her black dress and it's very modern!!I guess that you had a very beautul stay in Algeria.
Maybe you are still there and I wish you a nice one!!!
Big bisous,
Nicki

Beste Riny,
laten we het meer over fotografie hebben. Ik kan de haat wel begrijpen maar ik kan dit niet goed met je delen. Deze vrouw was zeer vriendelijk en niet haatdragend tegenover mij,
vriendelijke groet,
Paul

Het wordt tijd dat ze deze lelijke vrouwvernederende 'kledij' uit het straatbeeld doen verdwijnen in NEDERLAND....in Belgie is het gelukt.. Het is bovendien aartsgevaarlijk: voor het zelfde geld zit er een mannelijke crimineel/terrorist onder. Ons landje stijgt weer een beetje in mijn achting. Nu de rest nog aanpakken: rituele slachtingen, straatcriminaliteit, haatmoskee's en dito imams.... Sorry Paul ik heb de schurf aan zulke mensen!............
