This little Karen
child in Burma was most intrigued by the strange westerner.
But also very wary.

A Hmong girl giving a traditional greeting to her guests. I very delightful custom.

This hilltribe woman from northern Thailand was really enjoying her pipe. I hope I didn't disturb her.

This beautiful headress amazed me. So did the look on the woman's face.

What a wistful look this Indian girl from Badari gave me. Is the girl behind, annoyed or envious?

These two I saw from the window of my train in Bangalore. Why was she looking so wonderingly at her father? Grandfather?

After fleeing the brutal regime in Burma I suspect this Karen man is wondering about his future.

This little imp fleeced me out of $5.

So mysterious, so innocent, so curious, so happy, so beautiful.

I wondered if this old lady had seen Chairman Mao. She certainly looked like she'd seen much of life.

One of my favourite photos. She was such a delightful little girl. A real little cutie.

This Tamil tea merchant and his family were very kind to me in Sri Lanka. They gave me some wonderful tea to take home.

I could only guess what secrets were being told.
