If he was completely alone on the Island, who took those beautifully composed pictures of him fishing, considering it was the 50s where there were no electronic cameras with timers and stuff? ex: http://www.janesoceania.com/suvarov_tom_neale/fishing.jpg http://www.janesoceania.com/suvarov_tom_neale/fishing.jpg
Was it Tagi, the pearl diver? If yes, then he wasn't really alone, was he? What am I missing from this situation?
- lazyeye 9y agoHe lived the majority of the time alone with the occasional visitor who took photos. Thats what your missing.
- erikbye 9y agoI've found that in most of these stories, the people who have lived alone haven't been without human contact for any significant period of time. If that fact wasn't downplayed or outright omitted the story probably wouldn't sell as well. In this aspect, their stories are not that different from the tens or hundreds of thousands of lonely people whose apartment or house might as well be an island. It's probably also very difficult to live anywhere for years without eventually running into someone, never mind decades.
