I took these photos of a girl and her mother at the market during a visit to Kawthoung (Victoria Point) in Burma (Myanmar) in December 2006. Like most Burmese woman, she has got Thanaka cream smeared over her face to protect her skin from the sun and improve its tone. Although these people were really poor, they were rich in spirit and were smiling an happy and not only were they willing to be photo graped by a western stranger, they frequently asked me first if I would take their picture.
