I want your head boy! sent on May 20, 2014 (18:14) by Memy. 24 comments, 1218 views.

at 130mm, 1/800 f/5.0, ISO 640,

Nell' ormai lontano 2008 ho affrontato per la prima volta un viaggio nell' India tribale orientale meno conosciuta tra tribù di ex cacciatori di teste di cui ai tempi si sapeva poco o niente. In 6 anni tante cose sono cambiate ed aree che allora richiedevano un permesso speciale ( noi siamo stati tra i primi 100 visitatori !! ) adesso sono aperte al turismo e le cose stanno cambiando alla velocità della luce.. Tra tutte le tribù visitate quella che più mi ha affascinato sono i Wancho che più di ogni altra è attaccata al proprio stile di vita tradizionale. Il personaggio in questione era il cacciatore del villaggio che, stando sulla porta della sua long house era orgoglioso di mostrarci l' arma con cui, in gioventù diceva di aver tagliato le teste dei nemici..... Per la cronaca l' interno della sua abitazione era ricoperta dai crani, dalle corna, dai becchi e dagli artigli degli animali che aveva cacciato nell' arco della sua vita e sul tetto di paglia era stesa la pelle di un leopardo nebuloso !!!!!!! che pochi giorni prima era caduto vittima di una trappola per maiali selvatici.... Negli anni successivi la regione in cui abitano è stata chiusa a causa dei forti movimenti separatisti e, siccome sembra che stiano per riaprire l' accesso alla zona, è mia intenzione tornarci durante il viaggio che farò a Gennaio 2015. Wancho tribe _ Arunachal Pradesh - India Se qualcuno è interessato a conoscere il programma ed a partecipare, può contattarmi tramite MP.

Thank you Chiara!
In its intent wanted to stage the moment when his head cut off, but more than anything else the output is a funny face ....
Actually more of an elder showed me the expressions that were to frighten the enemy in combat and I have to say that the result, gritting his teeth and his eyes widened, at least in the context in which the 'I saw him, he was always more or less similar ...

The teeth are blacks as usual because lacquered with a substance extracted from bamboo.

I will make a right! Ahahaha
Seriously ....
Being the hand area in more light and 'metal weapon with a handle and polished and then reflective, since the natural light, and' normal that way ... it is to the naked eye which can endure differences of light much more important of a camera .......
