Portrait of me reading in sleeping bag by Alain Bessire

I think it is always interesting to see how others see you. Alain did this portrait of me on the road between Uyuni and Sucre. I find its haunting simplistic style quite beautiful. It also deserves to be considers on its own merits as a valid historical document as it accurately sums up our cold evenings together on the road. As soon as the sun dips below the mountains it gets very cold indeed and pastimes and energy levels are limited to reading in our respective sleeping bags.
