Aboriginal Teenager, Australia, 1996
"Conjuring an image as old as his ancestors, an Aboriginal teenager dons a mask of mud while swimming in a billabong, or water hole. For nearly 2,000 generations his people have inhabitied this wild and strangely beautiful spike of land at the top of down under. Steeped in the supernatural, it endures as a stronghold of native culture and one of Australia's last frontiers."

—From "The Uneasy Magic of Australia's Cape York Peninsula," June 1996, National Geographic magazine

一个土著男孩在死水潭游泳时，他敷上泥面膜变成像他的祖先一样古老的形象。在将近2000代人里，他的族人居住在澳大利亚荒野的和出奇美丽的高地一隅。这个地方充满着超自然的力量，它作为土著文化的一个要塞和澳大利亚最后的边疆居民之一存在下去。
