Papua New Guinea Trip - Aug. 2012

I spent 2 weeks covering the river (Sepik) and mountains of Papua New Guinea concentrating mostly on the festivals that occur yearly in August. These festivals, the Sing Sing's, bring many of the local tribes together to display their traditional costumes and dances in a highly effective way. PNG is changing rapidly and seeing these wonderful people in this way was a photographer's dream. Hopefully you will enjoy these images and get to PNG soon. Well worth the effort.
