Peru: Brisk Business At An Indian Market


Is there a better place anywhere to photograph people with their guards down than at markets? I don’t think so.  Imagine how visible a blond, blue-eyed photographer dressed differently from the surrounding crowd should be. But to women anxious to put their hands on the best cabbage I was not even there. I shot this scene in Pisac, in the Cusco province of Peru’s Andes Mountains, some time in the seventies.

Afghanistan: Caravanserai At Dusk

I shot this caravanserai at dusk in Ghazni, Afghanistan, in 1965 while on a National Geographic assignment to document a summer-end migration of Kuchi (Pashtun) nomads from the cooling Hindu Kush Mountains down to the warmer lowlands around Jalalabad.

J’ai photographié ce caravansérail à Ghazni, en Afghanistan, en 1965. Le magazine National Geograpic m’y avait envoyé pour photographier la migration de fin d’été des nomades Kuchi (Pashtoun) et de leurs troupeaux entre les froides montagnes de l’Hindou Kouch et les terres chaudes autour de Jalalabad.

Ghana: A Sunny Day In The Countryside


A dirt road cuts through a deciduous forest near Tamale, North Ghana. To watch how nimbly the two young women are walking, you would never suspect how heavy their water buckets are.

Près de Tamale, au nord du Ghana, deux jeunes femmes marchent le long d’une route de terre à travers une forêt à feuilles caduques. Le poids de leurs seaux d’eau ne quitte rien à l’agilité de leurs mouvements.
