She looks as though she has a story to tell, Floyd. I like this.

Hey Floyd, my Grandma from Scammon Bay is going up with my uncle's Yup'ik Dance Group next month. Barrow invited them up to dance at some festival.

Floyd, why is that image "exceedingly significant"? (I'm sorry, I don't know the background, if any). From the viewpoint of photographic technique, it is not very well focused. I can, however, see that it is an interesting face.

Wow! Thanks for the notice, and rest assure I'll make an effort at photographing them.

Not well focused???? Ya gotta be kidding. (I'll grant that after it is reduced to 900 pixels wide it doesn't look as sharp as the original. But the shallow depth of field is very much on purpose! Who wants to be distracted by the background?)

But I figured I'd let everyone swing in the wind of what is significant about it, at least for awhile. Warpt is the one most likely to pick up on it... I'll merely say that it is obvious, not something that is hidden. But it does require knowing something about Alaska too.

what is the significance or meaning of the tattoo on her chin??? I apologize as I am not sure I am asking this in the correct terms. Definitely I am interested in hearing from her through you!

Even if it isn't as sharp as the original - she's animated and that is conveyed well, Floyd...as I've stated, I like it.
