[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The man with the swine fang is their Chief, and the boy next to him probably his son, cause they didn't talk with our language so I didn't know. They were standing in front of their tall house (with 2nd floor).

They just living with the nature, no electricity, no television, no vehicles. Who will deny that we can live happily without world's jewelries?

Somewhere down the Mountain Jayawijaya of Papua (Indonesia), they live barely in 18 Celcius degrees. Subhanallah (Praise to Allah).

hi bima

this B&W is a nice choice to show the traditional tribal style of this portrait.

tfs, bill

Assalamualaikum, Pak,

bagus sekali potret penduduk Irian ini, Pak.
rasa saya kalau warnanya nggak hitam putih akan kelihatan lebih asli begitu.

di bagian bawahnya kalau nggak di 'crop' pun nggak apa-apa karena kan udah pake 'penutup' yang seperti suling itu. akan kelihatan lebih natural.

ma kasih, Pak.
Salam
Agoes

Merhaba Bima,

This is great portraiture of the reality of this world. Suit in mono. Well done
Dennis

Hi Bima..this is a nice portrait of these two people...nice sharpness and tones...well composed.

Roger

What a great b&w capture Bima! I like the vertical feel you chose to give to the shot by using the black frame only to the right and left sides of the picture, the texture in the background is definitely a plus, and the portraits of the two are very expressive!
Great job, my friend!
Best regards,
Diana

hello Bima
i have heard of these kind of tribes which we have in India too.
this is an incredible shot of these tribes.
good choice of converting them in to black and white.
good work friend.
regards
Manuj Mehta
