Myanmar series - Portrait #8

Posted by Helen (Melbourne, Australia) on 10 February 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

An encounter on a pathway with another family group of these amazing looking Aeng tribesmen, who had walked out of the hills for a whole day, revealed that they had never before seen video or film. This was a very special moment in my life.

You have a knack for portraits Helen. And this is just another fine example of why I like Aminus3 in general and visiting your site in particular! Very well done!

Thats amazing, never having seen film or video and being able to take their photo. Your portrait work has been excellent, this one in particular I really like - with the way his expression is being brought out and the framing. Excellent!

@Chris Sullivan: It was actually pretty overwhelming Chris. I begin to see what it must have been for people like Capt. Cook or James Rock.

AND thanks to all who have commented above ~ MUCH appreciated
