Pic of Real Headhunter with Heads

Wasn't sure where to post this so please feel free to U-mod if you think it should be elsewhere.

My friend's late father had this picture in a frame for as long as they can remember and when I removed it from the frame to scan it about 6 months ago it became apparent that it was on photo paper, like the matt finish stuff used in photography class at school which leads me to believe it was hand developed and an ORIGINAL photograph, I scanned it at super high res so i have a file large enough to make a bilboard out of... anyways...

Ain't nuthin' wrong with gettin' a little head once in a while........ :lol:

Appears to be a fresh catch on the way to the head shrink.

NOICE HEH-D Trav!

Looks like he is offering a sale - two of his for one of yours!

...and the jungle cruse boat sails along....

one thing i noticed was, his arms appear to be very long comared to his body and the haeds are mauch larger than his, maybe he is a "Pygmy"...

If the span of your arms outstretched horizontally is greater than your height, you have a positive ape index, common in most primative man... see "ken ruzic"..

where was the picture taken?

any idea of the date?

I believe it's from Papua New Guinea, waiting on more info..

I wonder where's he heading?

Not if I can help it. I'm Limbo Lizard... let's see how low I can go:

Missionary man, him tell me, "Two heads mo' betta den one". I say, "Good idea. Hey, look down, you shoe untied!"

He's head over heels... but only about 6 inches over.

Honey, look who I brought home for dinner.

No, this isn't a "head". It's my European carry-all.

Looks like Ben took a header and can't make heads or tails out of how he got there...

the picture that i scanned was about 280mm x 350mm and had no border or text, the pic was developed right to the edge of the paper, clearly the same pic but i think from a different source, who was it published by? and are the one for sale from a book etc? or like a baseball card?
cheers
