Lady..Lady!

Is that what I think it is in her mouth? Well, one person's delicacy is another's...yikes! Great picture, Laurent; the tones model her face very well.

Thank you for the appreciation.This is a re-scan of a print that I had already uploaded in color where the Betel chew with its blood-like juice was that much more impressive but I must agree with you that this sepia toned B&W has its merits.

Very nice. Laurent. Is this from China? I am visiting Shanghai in November.

Oh, so it's a betel nut. God, I thought it was some sort of insect.

Guess I am not curious enough;I should have asked,but it was betel nut plus whatever more to make up that fiberous chew......finally not so pretty but very interesting.

Salutations-Laurent

I like your series of portraits of different people!

Thank you for the appreciation and your always welcomed commenting of my people images.

Merci et meilleures salutations-Laurent
