Photographing Peru’s Coneheads
Miro and I first came into contact with Brien Foerester and the amazing elongated skulls of Paracas Peru in December of 2011 when we visited the Paracas History Museum.

An Enigma
I remember when this ‘baby’ was discovered over a year ago and became a national sensation throughout Peru. I was living in Huanchaco on the Peruvian coast at the time, and I made a mental note to put this on my ‘must see’ list. This past week, we finally made it to the quaint little town called Andahuaylillas, just an hour outside of Cusco, where the mummified reamins of this baby resides and I was blown away with what I saw!
