Every morning along the beach I would see these beautiful women carrying all sorts of things on their heads. They wear special sunscreen that makes their face a bright yellow that is rather striking. Since there are not many tourists there, these women are not used to having their photos taken. Although she looks a little annoyed in this photo, after I took it and smiled at her she gave me one of the biggest and friendliest smiles I had ever seen. It was too late to capture that moment as I had already lowered my camera to give her my Ratcliff Round-River smile. Antananarivo, Madagascar
These are some rather mysterious pygmy people that came down out of the mountain jungles one day to have a dance-off with the other tribes. Dance-off is not really the right word. It’s actually kind of a serious cultural thing that is the highlight of the year for all the tribes. I was kind of hoping they'd do Thriller or something that I knew… or maybe re-enact a classic scene from Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. But they didn't! They did a very special kind of dance that was threatening, hugely impressive and used absolutely none of Turbo's marquee moves. Anyway, this particular tribe had a bunch of kids with their heads shaved down the middle and then they take some of that hair and attach it under their chins. It certainly makes for a unique look that clearly makes this tribe appear a bit different than the others. Goroka, Papua New Guinea
