Ashaninka

In an earlier post I wrote about my long time friend, Martin, from the  Ashaninka community of Pampa Michi in the Peruvian high jungle. This post contains a selection of portraits of people  from Martin's village taken over a number of years. The photo below is another photo of Martin himself, taken when we were both much younger.
Here is the link:

  3. Beautiful portraits Geoff but is it me or.....even while smiling they are have sad (tired) eyes? Am I reading into it too much?

    1. Maybe it was just the photos I chose for this post. Here, there are but a few of many taken over the years.
