A Photographer Revisits the Forgotten Land of Song
National
Geographic photographer Aaron Huey travels back to Svanetia, a remote
region of Georgia, to revisit the people and the place that inspired his
future career. Re-reading journals full of recipes, songs, and
vocabulary he learned on his first visit,
Huey talks about the family that took him in when he first arrived.
“The whole family still sings in the kitchen. There are just some of
those things that never change, and I found a lot of those again.” Huey
discovers many similar scenes on his return, such as traditional Svan
singers and dancers, in a place few have witnessed.
