Indonesia: Stone-Age Man


In 1968, walking through a Dani hamlet in Irian Jaya, Indonesia’s West Papua, I photographed  this man leaving his hut to split firewood with a stone ax.

En 1968, traversant un hameau Dani en Irian Jaya, la partie occidentale indonésienne de la Nouvelle Guinée, j’ai photographié cet homme qui sortait de sa hutte, une hache de pierre à l’épaule, pour aller couper du bois à bruler.
