Two for the price of one today. Like many of the pictures I've posted, this picture was taken in Tingriti, as the village's children waited for a lunch provided by our clinic. I believe that she is the granddaughter of the women featured in the first picture I posted from the trip.
Copyright Nathan Montgomery, 2008Although the shadows on this image are harsh and the background lighting distracting, I still like it. These two sisters, who lived in a tarp covered hut just above our campground in Sissu, were wonderful subjects.
Photographing people always feels like something of an invasion. I took one more shot of these sisters in better light but cut off the older girl's left foot in the image. Otherwise, it would have been a great picture. Perhaps I should've attempted a third shot, but I felt like I'd already taken more shots than I had the right to take. Take more and it would approach gawking.
Tomorrow, I'll post the last picture from the trip.
