This ties in nicely with National Geographic’s attempt to alter the way it deals with societies around the world.
Y’know, I’ve sometimes thought, regarding images, that they can tell as much a story about the photographer as the subject.
Good post.

Very interesting read, and something, as an anthropologist, that I’ve thought a lot about. Glad to see such introspection in the world of photography…
