Description

Il y a longtemps que je veux expliquer pourquoi la plupart des birmans qui aparaissent sur les photos ont les visage tachés de blanc- comme cette jolie fleuriste et ces petites filles au marché) Je voulais faire un montage , montrant plusieurs visages et façons de l´utiliser, Mais, même après des semaines de tentatives- je n´arrive pas a coller deux photos ensemble : -)) Le Tanaka est est un arbuste que les birmans réduisent en poudre, mélangent avec de l´eau et apliquent sur le visage Surtout les femmes et enfants, mais les hommes aussi Il est sensé avoir plusieurs vertues thérapeutiques et à voir la peau des birmanes on croit Mais je suppose qu´il sert surtout à proteger du soleil Il s´est developpée toute une culture du tanaka Les jeunes filles l´étalent sur le les joues et le front et- avec un peine- dessinent des feuilles, des fleurs, toute sort de jolies choses Plus un bébé ou un enfant est enfariné en blanc, plus cela montre que sa maman s´occupe de lui Je vous montrerait la plante en train d´être vendue Long time ago I want to explain why most birmains who appear on the photos have the faces peinted in white, as this pretty florist and this litthe girls in the market I wanted to create a montage, showing many faces and several ways to use it, But even after weeks of tentatives- I can not stick together two photos:-)) The Tanaka is a shrub is that the Burmese reduce in powder, mixed with water and put in the face, especially women and children, but also men It is supposed to have several therapeutic virtues, and when whe see the sin of burmese women, I belive But I suppose it serves mainly to protect from the sun It has developed a culture of tanaka Girls spread on the cheeks and, draw leaves, flowers, the whole lot of nice things More a baby or child is make-up in white, it shows that his mother takes care of him I would show you the plant being sold SORRY, I CANT PUT THE OTHER PHOTO HERE :-(

In the Old Tstament it was a punishment for entering into the forbidden places of the temple. Miriam and Aaron got white hands and Uziah, a king who made the corner and the angle in the wall of Jerusalem and engines of war, but he entered into the holy of holies and for this his face was made white. Explain that to someone who owns Hereford cattle.

thanks for telling us. wonder about it. to put two photos together you need to make a "new" CANVAS and then put the photos on top of the canvas and then resize the photos to fix on canvas and then move them around on the canvas. When you done "save" it to what you wish.

I think I have fallen in love with these people! You have shown us so many wonderful things in this country of Burma. I think the children are wonderful, they are, after all, the hope for this world.
