A breath taking selection of photographs by George Rodgers.
A sense of pride and strength is captured in these shot, such rituals and expressions are a part of all of our history's. These Images represent for me a culture which is still firmly lodged in our genes, a history of our species can be seen in these images. Rodger's has done an awesome job of capturing mood and atmosphere in each picture.
My favorite image is the one just above, where two children have been photographed while in a ceremony or dance. But what i love about it is the mask and the way in which the image is framed. The mask has a haunting
stare about it and with the strong shadow in the eyes makes it almost lifeless and robotic. This i think is made more dramatic or emphasized by how the arms have been cut off. Such a good photograph.
