Until the heat of the sun is felt the cows and the boys don’t move far from the fires in the cattle camps. The connection that the boys have with the cows is quite remarkable.

Another bull jumping ceremony of the Hamer tribe in Ethiopias Omo Valley. This is not about fertility or marriage it is about showing devotion, respect and sacrifice to the man that is coming of age and having his ceremony. His female relatives get whipped but his mum does not go to the ceremony. Cultures and traditions vary greatly for people around the world and I find it an honour to learn about them and their meanings and what they symbolise.

The traditional lip plates of the Surma tribe is now being discontinued by the younger generation of girls. Once seen as a sign of beauty and attracting a higher dowry, the lip plates are only worn when the woman or her husband wants. Easily removed and always carried with them, these lip plates are made of clay. You can read more about their lip plates on one of my past blog posts.

A memorable moment captured of a gorgeous little girl who was quietly watching me take photos and playing with some children in her Dassanech village. The Dassanech tribe are Ethiopias most southern tribe and many of their villages around the Omo Delta and Lake Turkana have had to relocate in the last few years due to unexpected rising water levels.
