Longneck Beauty
Uploaded: December 27, 2010
We trekked for miles, waded a river three times and followed it through a mountain to reach this Longneck Karen tribe that had set up a camp in the jungle of Thailand. They had recently fled the brutal oppression of the military regime in Burma.

Unbelievable capture, Steve. As a woman, the first thing I do when I get home is remove earrings, rings, and necklaces. What if I had to leave them on? And what if there were 50 of them?Steve M. Harrington December 28, 2010
Thank you, Jack and Michelle. This was shot in the early '90's and I doubt it is banned. Beauty will have its way!Carol L. Fowler December 28, 2010
Wonderful exotic image! Lucky you to have experienced and photographed these people. #9129444Steve M. Harrington December 28, 2010
Thank you, Carol. This was quite an adventure. They had only recently settled into huts on the edge of an established but very remote village. It was true jungle and a mere ten miles from the troubled Burma border. Mortar skirmishes were not uncommon and a 25 ft python was caught in the school yard the week before we arrived.Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
