Photographer’s Note
This is the village primary school math teacher (center) his wife, right, her sister (left) and son. I ask people to represent themselves in whatever manner they want. I have *no idea* who the idol is (it is likely a Bakuba king), but I love the whole gestalt of the photo.

Hello Karl,
I agree that this photo has a certain quality to it that makes me want to stop and look. The women seem very proud and I like their colorful clothes. The baby standing next to that idol is very interesting, epsceially since they are exactly the same height! There are a lot of nice details in this shot.
