If you’re new to Friday Photography, it is a weekly segment in which I seek eight of the most striking and beautiful pictures I can find and post them up for your viewing pleasure. You can see previous installments by clicking on the post tag at the bottom of the post.

Photographer note: “I found this little girl in Sahara Desert in a Berbere nomad camp near Rahmlia. She came to me with that eagle under her arm, and my berbere guide and translator told me the eagle is the little girl’s pet. I took some pictures of the girl, and all the while the eagle tried to attack me to protect his little owner, the girl.
These are absolutely FANTASTIC! One day I hope to be able to take such wonderful photos. Definitely an inspiration
Fourth picture looks like its been ‘shopped.’ Still all great, I like portraits because they are most difficult and frankly I was miserable at this kind of photography. But I have had better luck with landscapes.
Yeah, I think 4 and 7 are rather photoshopped. There’s a purple filter in 7 that makes the lighting look more dramatic than it actually is.
