In a cave known as Leang Tempuseng in a remote region of Indonesia there is a crude painting of a babirusa, or deer-pig, that is estimated to be 39,900 years old. In Chauvet Cave in France, images of now-extinct animals fill the walls and are thought to be about 30,000 years old. In Kakado,…
Pantry Makeover
On a hot and humid August Saturday last summer, I decided to clean our shed. As Barish and I were spilling its contents onto the lawn, Handan came running up with a camera and started to document the event. She later insisted I write a post about it. I fought her on that idea. Who…
