A view into - and out of - a world that is not familiar to me. Looking forward to further installments.

My wife and I were driving a VW beetle towards Moroto, the capital of the Karamoja district in Uganda. Half an hour earlier, going around a bend, we saw a group of Karamojong men on a small hill next to the road. When they saw me, they threw down their long spears and ran off — at the time, the Karamojong were forbidden to carry spears and probably thought I was a district officer. We then came upon this small group of Karamojong women resting in the shade. While the group may look posed, actually they had just stopped and were all about to sit down when they saw our car approaching and were looking at me as I came out of the car and greeted them. We could not communicate as they did not speak “up-country Kiswahili”, the lingua franca of Uganda. The Karamojong are an ethnic group related to the Turkana in Kenya.

Taken with a Leica IIIc and the Summitar 50 lens on Kodachrome II: It must have been about 2 pm and the light was very bright, so that the slide had some blown highlights. This roll was in a shipping container with our belongings that spent, through mishaps, six months at the port of Mombasa, including a season of the “long rains”. When digitalized, it had turned into what looks like a monochrome of cyan — yes, Kodachrome can also go bad in extreme conditions — and for the post-processing to get the look of the dry-season grass necessitated an enormous addition of yellow.

This slide makes a better print as a black and white conversion, and is now in my photobook, which will be presented at Offprint Paris 2019 held at the École des Beaux-Arts concurrently with Paris Photo, on 7-10 November. See my LUF thread, Photobook Publishing and its Discontents for the background and scroll down a few posts to see the "layered" design and construction of the book, as well as a PDF simulation of one of its four folded sections.

Thanks, Christoph.  I hope that I can deliver on that! :)

Again, really very strong Adam. You caught the right moment in which he looked right into your camera, but he seemed not to be so amused. 

Off topic: I hope this is his thumb and not his nipple.😉

I always enjoy pictures of dogs leading people. There's a scene in Jacques Tatti's film Mon Oncle, where a woman is leaning out of a window calling for her husband who is drunk in the street below, walking aimlessly with his dog on a lead and with the dog in full control. At some point the woman gives up and calls the dog instead. The dog promptly returns home delivering the husband.  If i remember correctly the dog's name was Bobby.

Thanks. The OOF of low iso and shutter does a better job of presenting the dog: even live, he was a fuzzy little blur of energy.

Lawrenceburg, Indiana? Origin of most of the Rye whiskey in country(regardless of what the labels say)(A goodly portion of it pretty good, too).

I love these "back alley" type shots, Wayne.

Do you find your photographic output improves or not in relation to the cumulative number of photos taken... eg the first 10,000 etc? I'm not sure I'm improving; perhaps I'm stale, or possibly I don't like copying what I've captured previously, hence reducing my options subject wise. Am I alone in thoughts like this?

@Steve Ricoh - For me, photography is more productive if I have a project: when I know what to look for I find a lot more interesting pictures. than I do just going out for a walk with the camera. Ralph Gibson speaks of this as having a"point of departure".

Thanks. The official distillery is still running strong.......Along with some unofficial distilleries. :)
