,

Di incontri belli, divertenti, toccanti, strani..... nei miei viaggi ne ho fatti tanti ma se ce n'è sato uno che mi ha sopreso e lasciato davvero interdetto è stato quello con un vecchio in villaggio di ex tagliatori di teste Konyak-Naga. Ci stavamo dirigendo in auto nella zona del villaggio dove la guida sapeva che abitava un centenario con i tatuaggi più belli del Nagaland quando in uno spiazzo,a fianco di una casa, in una luce quasi abbagliante, abbiamo visto una figura ricurva, quasi scheletrica, ripiegata su se stessa, mezzo nudo con addosso solo un paio di pantaloni corti imbrattati e troppo larghi per quel mucchio di ossa.... Aveva lo sguardo fisso ed sembrava non curarsi del nostro arrivo: completamente ricoperto di polvere e sul viso aveva delle macchie scure di non si cosa miste ad altre bianche che sembravano calce o gesso e che gli incrostavano anche le ciglia!!! Una visione davvero scioccante: dava l' impressione di un vecchio uscito da un lager comletamente abbandonato a se stesso che mi ha dato un senso di abbandono e di solitudine che poche volte mi è capitato di avvertire e, non riuscendo a capire, sono rimasto davvero interdetto... Ma poi sono spuntati dei bambini che potevano essere i bis bis nipoti e poco dopo dalla long house è uscita un donna anziana ( probabilmente la figlia o la moglie ) che ha cercato di coprirlo prima con una panno e poi con la giacca tra le proteste silenziose del vecchio che evidentemente voleva godersi un sole piuttosto caldo.. Parlando, la nostra guida ha scoperto che l' uomo aveva 120 anni !!! o così dicevano i suoi familiari e quelli del villaggio......

Thanks Massimo, Gare and Giosa!
The subject is very special and my only gripe was that it was in the middle of an open space with a light and very strong against the sun that did not allow me to do the shots that I wanted. Besides, I could not ask you to move to my liking .......

This photo, along with several other of your galleries, in my opinion is simply spectacular. I do not pretend to comment on it technically, I can only say to be back many times to see her before I leave a comment.
It would be nice that you aggiungessi some more about the EXIF ??data in your shots, as well as your stories ....
Stefano
