Jerome is 80 years old. He lives in the bush 2 hours from Sawariwau, the nearest village. It was a rough journey to get there - but he was glad to get some visitors, to talk to, and to tell of his various close brushes with death! Inside, under his thatch roof, it was cool and dark - A little fill in flash brought out some highlights whilst (hopefully) keeping the atmosphere.
that is the most amazing picture xx
