Maya is a transgender person of Indian origin, living in the US. I met her when she came to Bangkok to undergo a series of operations resulting in her bodily transformation into a woman... She is an amazing person, full of strength and charisma.
She asked me take some snaps of her, some professional, some for social networking, and some of a more naughty kind - a selection is presented here. All are taken after she has almost completely recovered (only 2 weeks after the surgeries!).

Xunantunich is a Maya archaeological site in western Belize, about 130 km west of Belize City in the Cayo District. Xunantunich is located atop a ridge above the Mopan River, within sight of the Guatemala border. Its name means "Stone Woman" in the Maya language (Mopan and Yucatec combination name), and, like many names given to Maya archaeological sites, is a modern name; the ancient name is currently unknown. The "Stone Woman" refers to the ghost of a woman claimed by several people to inhabit the site, beginning in 1892. She is dressed completely in white, and has fire-red glowing eyes. She generally appears in front of El Castillo; ascends the stone stairs and disappears into a stone wall. Most of the structures date from the Maya Classic Era, about 200 to 900 BC. There is evidence that some structures were damaged by an earthquake while they were occupied; this earthquake may have been a reason for the site's abandonment.
The core of Xunantunich occupies about one square mile (2.6 km²), consisting of a series of six plazas surrounded by more than 26 temples and palaces. One of its structures, the pyramid known as "El Castillo", the second tallest structure in Belize (after the temple at Caracol), at some 40 m tall. Archeological excavations have revealed a number of fine stucco facades on some of the ancient temples of this site. Evidence of construction suggests the temple was built in three stages in the 7th, 8th, and 9th centuries. The fine stucco or "frieze" are located on the final stage. The first modern explorations of the site were conducted by Thomas Gann in 1894 and 1895. Several projects of archeological excavations have been conducted at the site from the 1930s through the 1990s.

Maya is my second attempt at making a clay doll. I made the first one about a month ago, and lets just say that's she's best left away from the camera!
Maya Resort, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia
NIKON D600 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 16 mm, 0.6 sec at f/16, ISO 100
The entrance to the Maya Ubud Resort in Bali is very grand - when arriving at night as we did it's lined with small accent lights as the road snakes it's way through lush manicured gardens towards the main lobby building and once there we have a pool with lights and candles that we walk across to reach the lobby
I was a little late for this one - as the sun had already risen and the sky was getting a bit too bright
