Another storybook come to life as we open the novel and turn the pages that conjures up the picture of the daily lives of these women. Wonderful processing that just compliments the photos.

Your shots make their hardship more distant because of the natural beauty you capture, which is not wrong, just the way I see what you show. But I do like your pictures and appreciate your attempts to show us their world

And yet, they are so graceful and beautiful. I had the immense pleasure of being in Africa (Kenya, Uganda) many years ago, and vowed to go back some day. There is an earthiness and serenity there that I've never felt anywhere else.

I love this diptych and the incredible pp'ing. Did you use an overlay for the shape or was that done in PS as well?

Beautiful photos, as usual. May I ask something that might sound weird? Do a lot of women have very short hair in this place?

Like a broken film reel of life in a third world country. Wonderful!

I love the duality of it. Terrific diptych. Your editing is always spot on.
