He firmly believed that I was there to observe them.

And up there counting their behavior.

I had never seen before, an entire people

another rhythm of time.

The time I spent with Saraguros seemed a hundred years.

Everything was so slow.

It was another way of thinking, another speed.

There were fatalism in their faces.

This is in the state of Oaxaca in Mexico,

is a group of peasants called mixes.

There, everything is medieval, the plow, all ...

It was the profound Latin America.

He was a peasant village,

but more important was the music that community.

It was a people who loved music.

All members of the community who could play an instrument

They did not need to work.

They worked as musicians.

They let me sleep a few days

in a cement room, very cold,

to see if reluctant, if you really wanted to stay.

As I managed to resist,

I was taken from there and took me to a house.

I went more to the community.

And for me it was a pleasure.

We became friends and coexisted in harmony in the community.

This is in northern Mexico, are the Tarahumara.

They are great runners are runners.

They walk away.

My God, it was hell follow these aborigines

they were not walking, flying!

This is a Tarahumara,

with his face well marked, well lived.

With her beautiful hair, great hair.

Several times they came to my camera

and they made me feel a sound technician.

They told me things like I was recording them.

The strength of a portrait is that in that split second

We understand a little the life of the person photographed.

The eyes speak volumes, the expression of the face.

When you do a portrait, is not you alone who takes the picture.

The person offers photo.

Those trips were very important to me.

To return after years without stepping on my country, to be here.

The essence was the same, it was my continent, we were very close.

"Other Americas" led him to Sebastiao eight years.

On this trip to South America deeper

he simply disappeared for long periods.

Julian grew up with a father who was almost always absent.

His parents could at least correspond.

Clearly this occurred before the current media.

Each time he returned home to see his family

and edit your photos with Lelia.

Sebastiao seemed like a great adventurer to his son.

A superhero, rather than a photographer.

i And cut!

I am, thirty years later.

Finally, I joined my father in one of his missions.

A Wrangel,

a desert island in the Arctic Ocean.

Sebastiao hoped to photograph

the last great gathering of walruses.

I wanted to find out who the man was,

the man he had only known as father.

I wanted to find the photographer, adventurer, for the first time.
