Q: My sister in-law recently gave me a Canon EOS 10D digital camera body. Having only used point and shoot cameras, what would be a good beginners lens to get for this camera? Should I get kit lens to start with?

A Minahasan warrior is decorated with skeletons of wildlife species . He was performing a Cakalele or Kawasaran, a traditional war dance of the Minahasans. It is now a welcome dance to the VIPs.

Very intense shot, wonderful portrait. Looks as though he has something in his lip. I assume headhunting is no longer part of their rituals

Hi David (http://jpgmag.com/people/deej12). Headhunting has ceased from the region since hundreds years ago. Biting the lower lip and bulging eyes indicate that he is angry and brave or in a high spirit.
