Bedouin Family

One tent, one husband, two wives, 3 sons, and 11 daughters. Again I’m amazed at the joy that beams from these people. They all had a simplistic beauty about them that draw you into their eyes, while welcoming you with their smiles. This family lived in a desperate situation, but instead of asking for help they offer us tea and conversation. The father was just about to slaughter a sheep for us before we insisted that he didn’t. In the 30 minutes we spent talking with them I took over 400 photos. I suppose conditions were perfect.
