Near the Angolan border in Namibia, a small Himba village provided an opportunity to meet, and spend time with, the local tribe. Here, a young girl looks over her shoulder to the photographer who had already spent the morning photographing others in the village so was tolerated!

Young girl of Kayah State
We were travelling through the remote regions of Kayah State in Myanmar (Burma) and stopped at a small village. After wandering around and soaking up the village life, here, a small girl was standing by a wooden fence giving us an inquisitive look. She was wearing those famous metal rings around her neck, but this is purely for decorative purposes now and is no longer used to “elongate” necks.
Man and Shirt, Omo Valley, Ethiopia
In the Omo Valley, Ethiopia. I was exploring a Hamar village trying to take photos of village life. As I prepared to take photos, this young man automatically tried to remove his Mercedes Benz top as he assumed that I might think that the shirt wasn’t “authentic”. But I indicated to him that the shirt was OK; if that is what he normally wore then that was plenty authentic to me, and plenty interesting enough!
