Tia and son by Richard Jones
In the mountains above Maubissie in Timor-Leste I stayed in a hut with some of the poorest people in the world. Tia was proud and dignfied, and, although unwell, worked ceaselessly to feed her family. I framed and gave her this photo. On dry days she puts it outside her hut for others to see.

Tasty and complex portrait (with the her son in the background). Nice one.
