I like this shot Andrew, nicely framed with the tree and palms behind the player. His body paint looks primitive as in early cave paintings.

I once had a didgeridoo..... couldn't get a note out of it.

I am loving each one more and more! This portrait speaks volumes of the struggle to keep traditional cultures alive and breathing in a modern world!

Très intéressante série sur ces danseurs aborigène. Comme toute forme de culture il est impératif pour la préserver de la faire connaître au monde. La connaissance est un pas vers la tolérance, vers l'acceptation des différences, toute forme de différence. Diffuser ces photos contribue à cela.

Andrew, these portraits of aboriginal musicians in action are every bit as cool as rock n roll pics :) All kidding aside, you've captured these moments of concentration and "communion with the universe" superbly - great work!
