A Child of the World
The more I worked on this image, the deeper it went, the more emotions it evoked. Maybe because I remember that moment so well: this young boy running out of the woods onto the dirt road we were traveling on.
Maybe it is the many stories being told by his face, his handmade helmet, his clothing. Maybe it is the fear, the hope, the curiosity, the shear innocence that is being run over by the harsh realities of daily life.
It is moments like this that make me so very grateful for the life I have been so lucky to live. And it is moments like this that remind me I, we all, can do better. We all can do so much more to change this world to be a better place...... UgandaFrom PERSONAL FAVORITES
Past Reflections
Taken during a life performance in Kyoto, Japan this young lady demonstrated her skills, which took years of hard work and dedication to obtain.
Steeped in tradition, even the make-up has a purpose: when geishas first started performing, there was no electricity, so they had to perform by candle light making it hard to see the face.
By using white make-up , the Geisha's face remained more visible during the performances.From Japan Gallery

"A Cuban's Cuban"
Enjoying a break with his cigar, I was taken aback by the sheer strength in this mans eyes. The wrinkles in his face witness to a long, and probably hard, life. Trinidad, Cuba
