quote [ Although often overshadowed by the escapades of her more famous husband (said by some to be the real-life inspiration for Indiana Jones), the photographs taken by Yvette Borup Andrews on their first expeditions through Central Asia stand today as a compelling contribution to early visual anthropology.

Some old pictures of famouse places can be compared to today. Suprisingly the solid stuff (like rocks) seems to change more than trees. Go figure .. |
