Steve McCurry Shooting the Kara Dance

On our last day in Dus Village (I think we were there for 15 nights and 16 days) after the Kara had ended Mingi, we had wrapped principal on the documentary, the Kara sent us off in style. They threw us a party Kara style. This was by far one of the coolest things I have ever experienced. They all gathered outside the village and came stomping in singing and screaming and dancing. The dance lasted probably two hours or more, till dusk. It was a very special day. Here you can see Steve McCurry getting in there for a shot as they came down the hill into the center of Dus Village. You can also see photographer John Rowe over on the far left.
