Simply Priceless

Thailand

This is what I would call priceless expression captured of the little girl looking at her own picture on the DSLR. At the corner you can see the lady with the long neck also taking a peep and at your left a personal friend who has obviously taken her picture and showing it to her. This picture was taken in the `long neck' tribal village in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I can't remmeber the location of the place..but I suppose there aren't many as it's getting extinct. I suppose the people only wear those rings on the necks for commercial purposes to entertain tourists.....I just feel sad for the little girl having to wear it too! For them it's beauty....like having some tribes who would wear stuff around their mouth and ear lobes to make them long and wide! For some of us, it's scary sight and probably go `ewwwwwww'..........
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

wonderful capture. I saw the picture and thought how bad their neck must ache from never being able to move it. I really did not know there were tribes this still around. V

Wow... great shot, to me, I see that the Nikon and lens costs more than those two ladies will earn in a lifetime ! Is that your beloved ? LOL
Great shot Tricia.
