Great work with this one. I love just the touch of color. Being away from New Mexico right now isn’t so easy. I really appreciate the images in this group.

Diane Swarts
wonderful
Bezay replied
Thank you
Terence Russell
Wonderful work. I have always been a bit leary of taking photos of the indigenous peoples due to my lack of knowlege of their beliefs. I do, however, love purchasing their art pieces!
Bezay replied
Thank you, and I whole-heartedly agree, I do ask them, never would I dream of assuming. Please check out the artist “Sena” who belongs to the New Mexico group, he has some very wall hanging worthy pieces, very spiritual man

Jason Ruth
your use of selective colouring is brilliant in this image, it just adds so many extra dimensions to it. Well done.
Bezay replied
Such a nice thing to say, thank you Jason
EmmaLeigh
Caught my eye immediately. Tremendous shot that says volumes. Well done. We found that photographing native americans in war paint was difficult – the eyes seem to get lost (at least that is what happened to us). Your warrior has penetrating eyes – says a lot for the photographer who somehow captured his intense stare. Great job!
Bezay replied
WOW, what an awesome thing to say, perhaps really I just got lucky, your day is coming, thank you so very much Emma

alienfunk
mmm I’ve seen those sweat lodges on TV and I’m not sure my alien/reptile interior could take it. I’ll have to see if he visits me in my dreams instead or get the plane.
Bezay replied
as long as you’re not too draconian in reptilian sense, can’t wait for plane service to Orion in particular Betelguise
alienfunk
No only in the sense I can’t seem to regulate my own body temperature, so yes I do need warmth but I can’t get rid of it if I’m too hot and end up passing out.
I’d better get selling and saving.

WoW – what an intensly powerful image. The eyes bore right through you. Brilliant work. The use of monochrome with colored accents work so incredibly well. I say again…WOW!
Bezay replied 28 days ago
I hope one day all my work moves people, if a camera that came along could truly convey the entity within us all, I’d be first in line, the message of our existance should be one of compassion and understanding and simply knowing, to do all three with absolute consideration should be the pinnacle of our walk
