A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion. There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.
Richard Avedon, 1986

NOMADS
It is estimated that there are forty million nomads in the world. With no fixed location, they move from place to place to search for game, grazing land for livestock, edible plants, or to find customers for services they provide like blacksmiths, entertainers, etc.
Some nomads are being forced to settle to minimize ethnic tensions, and minimize friction with landowners.
