Faces of Bougainville: Two Ladies by the Dock
“Two Ladies by the Dock”; Autonomous Region of Bougainville; Papua New Guinea; December 2012
We were about to take a boat to the other side of the Buka Passage when I noticed these brightly dressed ladies. They were a bit shy to be photographed but I was already focusing my camera when I started chatting with them so they just resorted to timid laughter as my camera started clicking.

The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
Happy, big and fun loving women … great shot.
