Martin's Portrait Photography #11 - Lulu of the Black Hmong hill tribe, Sa Pa (Vietnam)

This is Lulu of the Black Hmong hill tribe. Her tribe immigrated from China some 300 years ago to Northern Vietnam's Sa Pa. They are known for making cloth from hemp and dying it indigo blue. Most all of their hands were permanently stained from the dyes. I stayed in her village of Lao Chai one night and Lulu was kind enough to let me take this portrait of her.

indigo blue hands :(

It's a bit sad but also the truth. It comes with hard work.

Me too! The world is so diverse :-)
