the Snow Tiger
Tradition and Modernity
Alright, I admit - the background was a bit messy, and the lighting really wasn't that great (too flat); hell, even the focus wasn't perfect! I really like her expression though, and how she seems really focused on whatever is happening elsewhere. This is a photograph of a 'Jin Hua' (literally translates into Golden Flower, the term for 'young lady' here) of the Bai people. She is wearing her traditional costume; if I remember correctly, that strand of white strings hanging from her head garment indicates that she is still single. Interestingly, she is very modern. Apart from the complexions on her face, she is carrying a Nikon D40!
