Battambang, Cambodia
Battambang, Cambodia. These two friends were hanging out near a gas station when we stopped to refuel. They were very curious about us, as we were in an area with relatively few western tourists. We chatted a bit using sign language and our driver as translator. The boy in front was a bit more enthusiastic about having his picture made; his friend was a tad skeptical.

Otjiwarongo, Namibia
Otjiwarongo, Namibia. We had stopped at a gas station to refuel before venturing into a more rural area. This girl watched us intently from behind a chain link fence. I approached her and asked - in sign language - if I could make her portrait. She nodded her consent but didn't change expression or move the whole time. After making several frames, i showed her the images on my camera's LCD and then, finally, she broke into a beautiful smile.
