Indigenas Ticuna, Amazonas, Colombia

<PREVIOUS

 

I know, I know, I'm waaaayyy behind with my 'Photo of the Month". That's why you'll be receiving a couple at a time in order to do some catching up. The main theme will be Indigenous Groups in Colombia, my main project lately. A theme necessary to be documented, because, as recently seen in the news, a lot of them are about to be extinct over the next couple of years. Just yesterday the United Nations sent out a cry for help in the media to come to the rescue of the disappearing groups. Last week Colombian newspaper El Tiempo signaled that the NUKAK MAKU (Photo of the Month 25) are about to be extinct due to side effects of the war and Western diseases.
Though this has been a personal project that I have been working on for years without external help, I am now looking for funding from individuals and organizations in order to complete this document before it is too late. If anybody has any leads can could be of any help, please advise!

All the best,

The 'photo of the month' is not meant as something pretentious, it is not even chosen by any jury. It could be an advertising photo I did, or a photo for a magazine or record cover. Something telling you of a journey I made or the city I'm in. Or a snapshot of my girlfriend. The only criterium it has to meet is that it was made in the last month. And that I believe it is worth bothering you with...
I am very sorry for the not-very-personal tone and character of this mail - you may or may not remember me, we might have met in some sleazy bar in some part of the earth and exchanged emails, we might be colleagues or best friends, or just share an interest in photography. We might have worked or even lived together in the past.
Of course, if you would not like to receive any more mails just let me know and I will remove you from the list.
And if you know of other people that might like to receive it please let me know as well...
Thanks for your time and hope you are well!
