%X this article focuses the relationship between journeys and photographs especially among anthropologists who travel. having travelled to the upper negro river as an advisor of a phd student, i discuss what digital photographs may mean in a context where verbal communication is impossible. real or imaginary journeys are a source of images, reports, or travel logs in which it is difficult to discern what is real and what is fiction. after discussing a few famous scientific and literary journeys, the article focuses on some anthropological journeys and concludes that images produced by anthropologists are a result of trained intuition, a sensitive gaze, and memories of former travels. the article includes photographic essays that incorporate pictures i took in february 2012 among the hupd'£¿h, in the upper negro river region.
