A young, very photogenic hill-tribe girl in Sapa, Vietnam.
A little girl and her day-to-day chore of collecting sticks and wood. I presume to be used for fire wood. This scene was captured about 1km walk from the mountain town of Sapa in northern Vietnam.
This little Bishnoi girl was photographed in a village about 100km outside Jodhpur, India.
been reading about tribal child raising and the benefits, and we know I like birds… I began this art as abstract patterns, bubbles of pattern that transformed when I realised by putting a ‘fork in the road’ to the concentric circles, that I created an eye and beak. Before that, it could’ve been shown either way up. also, it transformed from earthy brown colours, to a colourful bird. ‘Is it art? ‘my teacher used to always question. He’s not here now. He’s just asking the question still! in my head! I like it-it’s bright, colouful and alive.
This is a photo of a very dear friend of mine who’s ancestors originated from Zimbabwe…amazing that such pure beauty can come out of such a troubled land.
As some of you know I am having a bit of a pre new-year overhall today. I found this among some of my work. I thought I would share it. It’s very rare, because I only did about 3 artworks between 1997 and 2006 (LOL – seriously)! This work was done in mixed medium and happened when a friend suggested I try get back into creating artwork, so here it is! Needless to say I am very grateful to my friend who got me back into my passion! Thanks Shaun.
Digital Art: A young girl from the Hopi tribe is dreaming.. / / Note: All my digital art work is executed entirely with my mouse and Photoshop Elements’ brushes. It takes hours of concentration, patience and self control. Especially when the mouse wants to go right and you need it to go left! When this happens , I reluctantly leave my office and go for a stroll in my garden. / That usually takes care of the problem and then, I get back to work :)
The Himba people live in Northern Namibia and Southern Angola. This Himba mother was photographed in her village in far Northern Namibia. The smooth reddish skin effect is achieved by daily applications of a reddish clay mixed with ash and butter. These ladies apparently never bathe in water.
My good friend Sally Omar has seen my art ‘Native dreams of Old, ’ and has fely inspired to write this wonderful poem,, thank you Sally. Please check out Sally’s other work here on RedBubble she writes from the heart. x NATIVE DREAMS OF OLD. by Sally Omar Coming back / For a brief moment in time / Looking for what used to be / That he cannot find / Teepees scattered about / Are no longer there / There are strange structures / He cannot help but stare / Where are the fires / So that he can dance / And the bushes / Where he can romance / He remembers back / To red stained land / Where there was war / And there was pain / Arrows shooting in the air / White men eyes / Causing so much fear / Remembering back / He knows how he did die / A rifle blasted / Then he saw the Spirit in the Sky / Going back in time / Brought only terror / That brief moment / Was his error / What was once is now gone / NATIVE DREAMS OF OLD / A sorry story / Too infrequently told
The Akha People are one of a number of Hilltribes living in the Golden Triangle – the place where the borders of Burma, Thailand, and Laos meet. This child was photographed near the town of Kengtung in Eastern Shan State, Burma. Akha ladies are well known for their elaborate headdresses.

image inspired from the book ‘The North American Indians’ by Paula Richardson Fleming and Judith Luskey,,the original image is called ‘The Last Outpost’ / There he stood, upon his Elders land / his memory awakened, times had changed, / and not for the better, of his people. / Too many deaths / Too many lies / Too many tricks, The lessening of food / The lessening of land / and the lessening of his Nation. / Only his people knew how to live the land, / and only his people knew how to respect it too. Now this time was over / and all that was left / was time to Observe. Painted in Painter x / Thankyou to Gramia97 for the special song Choice, / Paint with all the Colours of the wind
A Karo man with an AK-47 – Omo Valley, Southern Ethiopia. Guns are ubiquitous in the remote Omo Valley. The tribal men of the Omo consider weapons to be part of the traditional dress – much like jewelry. I am told that they only shoot eachother.
Pretty close to what I wanted. I was hoping the snow was still going to be thick like in “Snow Sneaker” when I was putting on all the make-up. But it didn’t happen. Instead I think this looked like a tribal member making her way through a pine forest on some sort of voyage. It totally looks like something right out of “Lord of the Rings” Just random inspiration due to crazy snow weather.

The Himba People live in Northern Namibia and Southern Angola, and are one of the last pastoral groups living in Southern Africa. Himba ladies are renowned for their smooth, reddish skin, and even the elderly are wrinkle-free. The effect is achieved by daily applications of an ochre-colored clay mixed with ash and animal fat. This lady was photographed at Epupa Falls, Northern Namibia on the Angola border.
In remote villages in the mountains of northern Thailand, the children in some ethnic groups including Karen Pwo, smoked rough tobacco cheroots and pipes. When schools were established in the 1980s, the practice declined. The parents, also avid smokers and betel chewers, had no idea that smoking was bad for their children’s health. Taken in the early 1980’s with a Nikon FM2, Nikkor 28mm lense and kodachrome slide film. Natural light.
An intrigued Black Lahu elder, and his amused friend, looks at his portrait for the first time. This picture was taken on film in 1979 in a remote village far from a road in Mae Hong Son province in Thailand. The old man had not only never seen a photograph before, he had never been to a town, ridden in a car or seen a westerner. He asked me if I had come from the moon, as he had seen planes fly overhead.

Mississinewa 1812 Each year my father (Tim Denny) and I take a “photography trip”. Most commonly we go late in the year for Fall colors. This year we spent a week in Indiana, taking photos at a re-enactment and covered bridges of Parke County. The Battle of the Mississinewa, also known as Mississineway, was an expedition ordered by William Henry Harrison against Miami Indian villages in response to the attacks on Fort Wayne and Fort Harrison in the Indiana Territory. The battle is significant as the first American victory in the War of 1812. The site is near the city of Marion, Indiana. Mississinewa 1812 is not a re-enactment of the battle. It is a period re-enactment that captures the lifestyles and military living in the period 1812. If you ever get a chance I totally recommend the event. Trully enjoyable. Over the next several weeks I will be posting images taken at Mississinewa 1812 along with covered bridges from Parke County, Indiana.
