I'm giving a lecture on the art and culture of the Sawiyano tribe tomorrow at University Center Rochester. Its been 9 years since my last trip to the place I grew up...I miss it, sometimes intensely. Going through images for lectures is good, but always triggers a deep longing to return. Here are few shots of the area where I grew up.
