Next set of Ethiopian faces

Hello,

Hope you had a nice week and that you are enjoying your Friday.
My week was intense again and today it reached the top. Finally I and my wife become legal owners of the new home. There is still some work to be done before we will move in and actually live there, but we did a great part already.
Enough of my real life sharing, I will quickly switch to African story, which will be connected to people there.

You will be able to see how they are living in Ethiopia and partly also how they feel about it. You already know what I thing. They have (far) less, but in general, they are (far) happier inside.

Enjoy the photo gallery!

These are amazing. I can relate to these images being an African man myself.
I wonder; have you ever visited Nigeria? That's where I'm from.

Africa is so awesome.
Also people there are very interesting for us, Europeans. In a good way of course. Culture is so different there and I just admire how people live there.
I haven't been to Nigeria yet. Hopefully I will return to your beautiful continent and have a chance to stop by at your country as well.

You are right. We are not all made for everything. People photography is tough, but also rewarding. If you make a lot of shots, you will for sure catch something interesting.

Thank you for your lovely comment.
People are different in each part of the World, but we are still the same - people. Meeting them in person gives these photos whole another dimension.

Ethiopia as in the rest of Africa different face/body paint depicts different tribes, as with headdress and beads used with variety of meanings.

Another exquisite set of portrait photography from your trip @crazy-andy

Tribes each with a story still told around the fire at night, each generation repeating.

Have you been there? You mean you captured all these photos?
Ethiopians have a very distinctive mode of dressing and culture.
I have only watched them in movies.
Nice one!

can't remember if I mentined it to you before but I hitch hiked through Eritrea, Ethiopia and Kenya back in 93/94. These images bring back some great memories of, what was for me, a life changing journey. Great stuff @crazy-andy

Congratulations on your new home.

These photos are really great. Africa has always been a geography that interested me. Nice to see photos of ethiopian people. The last photo caught my attention. Why would a person put something like that in her mouth?

Thank you!

Very different people living there. That means they are interesting for us of course.
On the last photo there is Mursi tribe. As far as I know they do that to make them uglier to be honest with you. That started to prevent slave market.

Thanks.
I am glad you like them.
I used Sony A7 iii and that is the camera I can recommend. I am not an expert on that field, so better get the second opinion :)
