Eva

Eva is my Monday-to-Friday-mornings household helper. Unlike many of the local people, she doesn't get tanked up over weekends, moves through the house as quietly as a mouse, and is caring and helpful. Her features clearly show a West Coast (San or Hottentot) ancestry, and her distant but piercing gaze is like that of the San hunters.

Very stron features. It takes some knowledge and insight some times to penetrate behind the expression of some african faces! Great image and story again from you as always! Cheers!
