Guizhou Impressions 01

Starting a new little series of, what I think of as ‘impressions’ from the villages in Guizhou. I am still in the area and internet is patchy so it might be sporadically posted.

India Portraits 09 A mother and daughter from the Apatani tribal group pose together. I love how the daughters arms treasure her mother. I will make this my mother’s day post!

India Portraits 08

An older Apatani woman poses for her portrait in Arunachal Pradesh. An area off to the side of India, which many people are not aware of. She has the nose plugs and tattoos that were a traditional adornment but are now out of favour.

India - Portraits 04

This Naga/Konyak man bears the tattoos that recognise he has ‘taken a head’ in past intertribal conflicts. I like the way the hat seems to reference a military uniform (and the tattoos camouflage), placing him squarely in the context of other soldiers of other nations.

India - Portraits 01 Radha & Krishna

One of the joys of traveling in India is the ‘certainty of the unexpected’. These two Gods were part of a street parade (in honour of a school anniversary) that delightfully blocked the road one day.
