Lens Will Always Tell The Truth
by Lena
I make love to life…
I have no regrets…
All that will be left of me is my passion… All that will be remembered is my dance…
All that will matter is that I loved… All those things will travel on…
They will gallop on dusty roads of eternity into the hearts of those, who are brave enough to let go of fear, who will strip their souls raw and breathe passion into their veins…

Here’s some of the photographs that were taken of me in the past months…
in Papua New Guinea, USA, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia… just to name a few …
Where I was the first white woman to have danced topless with tribes at Madang Festival in Papua New Guinea…
It was an honor to be there that day and dance with other half-naked women, who were rubbing off paint onto my body with their bodies and giving me tribal jewellery as gifts. Locals were thanking me for becoming part of their culture. People in Papua New Guinea are incredible! Even though local press put a very negative spin on my actions… the lens tells the truth of what happened that day.
This moment was captured by the most fearless and passionate photographer I know — Dmitriy Komarov of www.sweet-studio.com.au
We also got to live in a remote village with local tribe with no electricity or running water and got to contribute our money and time directly to locals and their community, instead of some wealthy Chinese resort owner.
