In 1968, having spent four months crossing Indonesian Borneo from Pontianak
on the west coast to Samarinda on the East coast on assignment for National
Geographic, I traveled the next three months on a Venture magazine assignment photographing
the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Sumba, Sumbaya, Timor, and Irian
Jaya.
In Irian Jaya, in the western part of New Guinea, I reached the stone
age. Literally, as the Dani tribe there were still using axes and agricultural
tools made of polished stones. There I watched a boy drink from a river as do
animals. Our distant ancestors may have done it too.
