The Boy of the Kowampi
Three shots of the same boy from the Kowampi tribe. He had this half smile on his face, and was standing amongst a group of women.

I was told that the black skin is done by mixing ash from a wood fire with butter. This is then smeared onto the skin to create the traditional tribal style of the Nomba.
Members of the Eyarokawe tribe had wonderful interesting faces, and their headdresses reminded me of Tina Turner. I believe the tusks in their mouths are from wild boar. The young kid above, would probably win the award for most adorable child in Papua New Guinea.
A few studio images for yoga instructor Mayumi Fujita. If you’re looking for yoga lessons in Okinawa, visit her Facebook page.
The boys of the Mingende tribe. One of them was all smiles, but the others were taking things very seriously.
Three pics from the third night of light painting. We were creating our images as a team, so credit for each image must go to all members of the group, rather than just the person with the finger on the shutter. Thank you to Jamie, Kevin, Michael, Jonathan and Gary for coming to the advanced workshop, and of course to Trevor for illuminating us with his knowledge. We’ll see you back in Okinawa in Oct 2014!
