Photographer’s comment: “Umek bubu, a smoky kitchen and food storage of traditional households in Timor, Indonesia.  In Timor, the dry season can last a long time, up to 8-10 months in a year.  When the rainy season comes, farmers plant food and harvest them in the next 4 to 6 months.  People save food for famine episodes each year in umek bubu.
