I absolutely loved the inspiration I got from this
ad this week! The first thing I noticed was the tall mic stand and the leaves leaves leaves.......yep - green leaves...... I usually go with my first glance, the things that stand out in my mind......then morph them into composition in a LO. .. (weeeell try to!) I had the perfect photos and the page just fell into place.

WARRIOR

This is from our family trip to Vanuatu in the South Pacific on one of the islands. As we got off the ship and into the foliage a bit we were surrounded by warriors with spears pointing at us yelling and grunting. Paige grabbed her dad and cried while the rest of us were bewildered as we were herded into a clearing. This man proudly stood with his stick and snake....and as a true scrapper - I keep my camera going now matter what! It was all part of the 'welcome' even though Paige didnt appreciate it one bit, and to get a 'feel' of what it would have been like when outsiders entered their islands..........heck.......their history were canibals!
