This is from a nursing home in Mexico 2008. I have always been interested in old people and this passion made my photo project possible. I have called my series GONE because that is how I experienced these people that I came to know a little. GONE from home. GONE from time. GONE from reality.

Like so many of the tribes the Kara of Ethiopia are pastoralists and live with a small ecological footprint.  As part of their daily ritual they bring their goats back to the village of Dis on the banks of the Omo river. The dust and shepherding create an inimitable atmosphere.
