through his selfless snapshots
a bridge between the modern
and the ancient
he builds
one roll of film at a time
a cornucopia of near horrifying
yet colorful splendor
he shares one dimensionally
with the world in such great
photographic depth
capturing the oddly unique
to display its beauty
with no glamorous intent
the mix of joy, knowledge, benevolence
with just a touch of an evil like tagging
along with the hunter/gatherer slant
all compile to remind the present day of
the paleolithic sketches the cave dwellers
left behind in prehistoric times
for man to marvel at today
proving we learn just as much from the far
reaches of the world which exist
way less developed by comparison to
the western migration
such tribal Woodstock of New Guinea
he annually depicts
arming the world with
simple fearless reminders
of just how far we as a human race have come
as difficult as it is to digest
the hunter/gatherers thrive on
at the fringes of technical and galactic
accomplishments being pioneered globally
though, 'The Spectrum Of Humanity'
knows no limits
obviously
if you, the reader, have even the slightest
of doubts, I suggest that you
just examine the eye assaulting photos
of Stephen DuPont for yourself
you won't be disappointed
even the slightest
only further enthralled
with the jaw dropping contrasts
his camera so expertly uncovered................
