Artist's Comments

Old, poor, lives in a horribly run down shack in the middle of a feild, and could care less. She understands that her Tibetan lifestyle is one of hardship and sacrifice and its just fine for her.

ps. she never stopped giving me tea to drink, I really had to pee when I took this photo...

Canon 20D, Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS L lens, 1/200 sec, f2.8, ISO 400

Most beautiful thing I've seen in quite a while. A face that shows such wisdom through life's trials...Must have been an awesome experience for you to meet her.

LOL! That's hilarious that you had to pee. Her face looks so metallic! All of your words to describe her is very well shown in this photograph; the wrinkles to show age and sacrifice through her life and her smile to present her content of her life. <3

Wow. Stunning. Her face is weathered like well-worm leather, and I mean that in the best way possible. She's so beautiful.

Amazing photograph!!! She's beautiful. Its rare to find a face like that, and if/when I happen to come across one, Im to shy to go up and ask- "can I take your photo please?"

Anyways, keep it up.

This needs to be a DD.

Absolutely beautiful shot of an equally amazing subject.

Just because perfection is impossible, doesn’t mean I've given up attempting to achieve it. :aww:
