Puppets Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Puppet play is an old tradition in Taiwan. A master controls a puppet’s movements by putting his hand in it. Each finger is in charge of different parts of the puppet: index finger for the head; thumb and the other three for the arms.

I found these puppets in a recent trip. A puppet at the left-bottom corner was isolated and had different view direction from others. I liked its facial expression. Also the colors of their clothes enriched the photo a lot.

Hi Jim,
Nice color, good catch here. I like the culture of each place, and this one is the best one can present the Taiwan's traditional culture. You knew it!
Cheers!
