In an earlier post I challenged @neilshea13 to post his notebooks as an example of his "visual writing" approach... (art direction by @randyolson) — he says: I draw in my notebooks. Not all the time, not everything, not very well. Somewhere between stick figures and bad anime. But it helps. I work a lot with memories—those of the people I interview, the photographers I travel with, my own—and I know well that remembering is hard. Colors fade, dates vanish, words and meanings shift. Things break down. We replace bad with better, embarrassing with heroic. We routinely consider memory to be solid, unassailable, when it’s really very rarely so. I’m no better, though as a journalist I’m expected to remember professionally. All of my colleagues have their methods, their voice recorders or cameras. I keep notebooks, and in them I try (and fail) to put down everything. I’ve found that drawing, alongside writing, roots objects, animals, landscapes, and moments (I’m awful at sketching people) deeply in my mind. It’s more sensual. Less rule-bound. An old way of seeing. Reality is mostly a brief agreement, a temporary truce of the senses, and drawings sometimes capture this more effectively than writing or photography. They’re fluid, perhaps the least real of all records, but somehow they stand firmer in the loose sand of memory, like piles sunk in a riverbed. Drawings provide a kind of stillness. Even as the story moves around them.Clockwise from lower left — a hippo with notes + butchery instructions added by El Molo hunters; a mummified catfish found on a volcanic island in Lake Turkana; clubs used for hunting and war among the Daasanach; a carved headrest used by Nyangatom women; a Daasanach teen’s hair-do, made up for a celebration with clay and butter.

This image is an out-take from our recent Instagram series on Ethiopia’s Omo River and Kenya’s Lake Turkana, where we’ve worked over the last six years documenting culture, change, and conflict. You can see the whole project archived at #NGwatershedstories, and find our features about this region in @ナショナルジオグラフィック magazine. For more, please check in @randyolson and @neilshea13.
